WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB? 1. First off-farm job was a Fuel Transfer Technician (aka Gas Jockey) 2. Armchair Theatre, a local family- owned video store. 3. I was a Youth and Children’s Ministry Intern at a local church in Baton Rouge, and I miss those crazy kids every day — a lot of them are in late high school and early college now. 4. I was my own boss at age 9 and had a weekend paper route at the lake. It involved checking with the cottagers which days they wanted the paper for and collecting payment. 5. The first job I needed a SSN for was a summer job at a carpet cleaning company. Yup, I made calls to people from the phone book to see if they wanted their carpets cleaned!
