Re: What was your first ...
^^ i dunno how should i feel about the people who never worked :-) i kinda feel sorry for them.. kinda envy them too, maybe hate them at a lil level too in there, (because of envy) khair, everyone's halaat are different..
i adored this girl.. she worked for pretty much every thing.. supporting family when financial crises/troubles were there, transportation to school, to get herself married, and MANHHH! she got married LONG away from here :-) there was a time when her family wasnt around for her... yet she still made it through everything :-)
i think my main reason was to have 'pocket money' .. even in pk i was working for my dad.. cuz since i had farmayeeshain, i kinda felt bad in asking for money to do this.. do that.. i kinda started working-for-money concept really early..
Re: What was your first ...
first ever job during high school. use to bake hash browns ;). sell em for $5.00 each.
that was a good money maker.
