What was your first paying job as a teenager? I worked at a pizza joint, How about you??

185. I worked in a movie theater in Wailuku Maui that was recently bought by Seiks

I didn't work there very long, but it was my first 'real' job. The problem was transportation. I was 16, and we lived in Upper Kula, and the theater was across the Valley Island on the other side. No buses. My mom and her partner were kind of glad when I decided it wasn't the job for me because they didn't have to drive me. I paid $18.00 in taxes that year (shows you how little I made, but it is on record for my SS for my first year of work)

The theater had previously been a XXX type of theater. It was really creepy (it had these icky couches in the back). I admire what the Seiks tried to do, by bringing other types of movies, but I don't know how long they ran the place.

I ended up leaving the nest (moving back to Oahu) at the tender age of 17. My next job was at Pancho Goldsteins Taco Stand in Waikiki.
