Funny, I literally just got my first job today. I'm working at a beach bar/restaurant as the basic-bitch dishwasher. So, apparently my job's gonna suck, but ayyye food discounts and beach.

How many of them picked you?
I was in a casting agency when I was a kid. I was a model for a poster and brochure and I was in a commercial, it's on YouTube but I'm writing this on my 3DS so I'm not gonna share the link now.
I was an admin assistant for a "charity" company which had the worst management in existence. That might be an exageration as there might be worse, but it would be up there as totally incompetent and retarded.
my job was to assist the company with matters, I was the general and we had a financial admin and a marketing admin in my room with me. My task was to make a pamphlet to advertise the place with the marketing guy so we did that in a few days and then that was it. They didn't give me a single fucking task after that and I was on a 6 month contract.
I tried fixing the business multiple times for them, but it became clear they didn't give a shit about fixing it. They were riding me and my fellow workers as money makers since they got paid by the government to take us on, as soon as I found that out and that they didn't give a shit about any of us, I just gave up trying to help them.
They went bankrupt the weeks after our contracts expired. It was so blatantly obvious.
It contained some wonderful examples of absolutely shit management like them wanting to rent out a meeting room which had no heating, no projector, broken floorboards and chairs and totally crap. We pointed out they needed to fix these issues and that they needed to buy projectors for meetings people would have and they refused to do this! They claimed "we won't spend any money on this" ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! They refused to spend ANY MONEY AT ALL! on anything! and they wondered why no one came to their shit hole?!?!
So satisfied that they went bankrupt, they totally deserved it. The fucking idiots.
OH! Edit! I forgot to mention they refused to pay their staff! Yep the staff they got PAID TO TAKE ON they refused to give money to! I had to personally pay everyone the first month I was there since the financial manager refused to do it (note not the financial ASSISTANT I was working beside, as they refused to let her even touch it for some stupid reason) so I paid everyone for them that month to stop people complaining despite having no experience using a paying system before. Guess what happened next month? the same shit they didn't pay anyone except this time they also didn't let me pay them! They refused to ;let me handle the payments of their staff which I wanted to do despite not being in my job description just to make sure people actually got paid for the work they did! They refused to pay anyone flat out, everyone complained for good reason.
I don't think I ever did get my last paychecks or my P40 from that place. Seriously fuck people who claim they are "charities" to try and claim bullshit from the government to help them and treat the staff like nothing.
I also worked for another charity, the British Heart Foundation, will name drop that here, who also fucked me over and had me doing work to test electrical shit before it was actually tested TO BE SAFE TO USE, and they yelled at me for refusing to lift a TV I literally couldn't lift physically from above my head, which blatantly would have caused me injury and maybe killed me if I tried it. They yelled at me and threatened me for not doing this. At that point finding out about how unsafe the electrical shit was (which I wasn't even warned about) and them trying to force me to do unsafe shit, I left that place.
Fuck you charities who think you can abuse what you are to treat people like shit!
Working as a slave for my parents, still doing it...
I had a soul crushing job working on the fruit and veg dept of a supermarket when I first left school.

I worked at Wal-Mart as my first job as a Sale Associate. If you're unaware, when you work as a sale associate in a Wal-Mart you're expected to be able to tackle multiple departments on a moments notice. It can be a little chaotic, but it wasn't hard. Honestly, I actually liked working there, the co-workers were awesome (aside from the occasional spit of drama). As for customers, typically they were nice, but I've had my fair share of assholes and weirdos that come in.
It was great as a job that I didn't 'rely' on. I didn't have bills other than my car, so it wasn't too bad, but I certainly wouldn't want to make working at Wal-Mart a career.
Kohl's Replenishment associate worked there for almost 4 years I didn't like get along with most of the people that shopped or worked there or are just there to look around. It's really a burden to talk to the damned teenagers as it is with the adults. I don't care for bullshit ,I was sort of hoping all the drama would end after highschool talk about a abusive cycle.

That is literally against the law. You could have sued and not have worked another day in your life.

No, from experience you can only sue for the time owed x2 to cover "damages". Unless you can prove some kind of absurd gross negligence or slave work conditions on top of it that contributed to a contextual decline in mental health leading to long-term instability, etc.
My first job was work at the dry cleaning chain that my family friends owned. Great first job.

idk if he was working outside he could have bullshitted that but whatever.
Sandwich Artist at Subway. I couldn't make the sandwiches fast enough, so I had to be the Sub Man instead. The hours they were giving me were weird and hardly paid for the gas to drive over there, so I only lasted a little over a month.
I worked at an inner-city library. I organized shelves and made sure people weren't using the computers to look at porn. The pay was decent and I got to meet tons of interesting and whacky characters.
There was a guy who went around cutting locks off of bikes so people had to bring them inside.
It was fun until someone in the break room stole a Snickers bar out of my backpack and used my hand lotion but left it in the bathroom. From then on I had to cram all my stuff in a locker.

What have I done with my life?
The only foundation of responsibility of which I am to carry is spread the 14th's ideology and maintain peaceful co-existence and fight corruption
I was a milkman, not the shittiest job ever, but doing it for 20+ years tends to not be very fun, especially during Canada's shitty winters. My first 'real' job was a bartender, which is what I also currently do and love it.

You should get yourself one this summer, I think buying yourself something fun would make you feel better.
I used to work in retail, being paid to be nice to people is excruciating

I live out in the middle of nowhere. The closest town is over 10 miles away. What kind of job would I get here?

How about a bottle picker? I always throw my fair share into the ditch.

Farmwork?
Get absolutely jacked son.
By school time next year you'll have you cock covered in slobber.
I know my cousin worked at a race track, got payed something obscene like 300$ for an 8 hour or less day waving flags, once a week. I barely make that much in two weeks. (Excuse me while I cry), He lives in the country too.
There has to be some kind of mom and pop shop, a Tractor Supply, something. I know you literally don't live in the middle of nowhere.
If you really need to go into town, either have your parents drive you or, you're 17, work on that permit and license. I had to have my mom drive me when I first started working.
local restauraunt/bar as a dishwasher, within a year i moved up to assisstant chef and earned about $400- $700 a week at 17.... now i make about $300 every 2 weeks in a really shitty convience store type job and i hate it with a passion. Unfortunately my job now i need to pay for bills and such and there is no work available really except for where i work and its obviously not really enough.
however I'm about halfway through community college which when i'm done i'll have an associates degree so i may be able to get like a book keeper job after i get my associates and that should be way better than the minimum wage bullshit im stuck with now.
My first actual job was me working as an assistant at my college's computer labs. Basically we made sure people didn't bring coffee to the computers due to repeated spilling, clean the computers and make sure they're all functioning, replacing paper in the printers and fixing jams. That sort of stuff. Paid decent enough for a college student.
Happily ETS'd.
