Aside from babysitting, my first real job was airbrush painting candles. We did a lot for Knott's Berry Farm, Disney, etc. It was really a fun job cause lots of teens worked there, but the owners were kinda shady people...I think they ended up in jail for manufacturing drugs. From there, moved on to "data entry" and have had several of those types of jobs before going to work with my DH...been here 20 years.
