I did a bunch of odd jobs before I turned fifteen and was legally allowed to work in Florida. I had gigs mowing lawns, selling airbrushed license plates at the Daytona Beach Flea Market, selling ice cream during the races at Daytona International Speedway, going door-to-door selling Christmas wreaths for charity, &c. Once I turned fifteen, though, I was able to get a “real” job. Here are the five best “real” jobs I had before I turned twenty:
- dishwasher / prep cook · Carmichael’s Sports Pub
- Sandwich Engineer · Subway
- line cook · Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips
- counter man · TCBY
- pool cleaner / lotion sales · Hawaiian Tropic
