Kun wrote Well done man. Enjoy it! Spend your first couple of paychecks then start saving a little bit. Nothing better getting paid and having no bills or responsibilities you have to pay for!

cant agree more. its nice having no bills enjoy your time living at home cause damn it sucks when every month you have a mortgage payment power water cable trash phone internet insurance gas heath insurance 401k payments..... mighty long list enjoy what your parents pay for you while you can.

hey good for you getting a job! what exactly do you do?

Good on you but I think at some point you may not like a minimum wage job

--Fear-- wrote Good on you but I think at some point you may not like a minimum wage job

why do you guys all instantly think its minimum wage?? not everyone works for mcdonalds or walmart for thier first job....me in example i got hired on at my local steel mill as a union member when i was 17 i started out making more per hour then my age.


not saying he isnt minimum wage but just saying not everyone starts off at a no career having job. i left my union after 8yrs and became a welding instructor for the company instead of the union. after 2yrs of that i managed to open my own business and now companies all over the U.S. use me to train welding instructors.

I am 17 I am still at school but hopefully want to start working in the summer.

Nice and congrats on your first job/paycheck. My first paycheck was for a measly $163 and some cents. Now I get around $800 ($600 after bs taxes)

Hello, don't mean to be nosey. But i'm around the same age and looking for a job, what is it that you do? Thank you.

I want a job but im still in school, I know it may sound lazy but i dont want to do both. I would need to leave school in order to get a job.

ya money is sweet im getting my cdl which is to be a class A driver, i cant wait to get a job and make money

Nice dude
The feeling of getting the pay check is great knowing you're closer to a goal (that's me anyway)
I'm currently saving for a holiday to Vegas in April
