I'm stateside, but I might be able to help. Once I *finally* got out of the babysitting circuit, I got a retail job working the Christmas help things. It's basically been retail and service since then.
I can't wait to be a teacher.

Avoid retail like the plague... it will completely spoil your positive outlook on humanity.
I would also say that you should avoid working for franchises of large corporations (McDonalds, etc.). I would try to find a locally owned business or Mom & Pop shop to work in... They tend to be less strict and "policy" oriented. I've been working since I was 13. My first job was a paper-route, but would you believe I actually got fired from it? LOL. Probably would've been fine, but it was an early morning route, and anyone that knows me can tell you that I'm a bit of a deep sleeper... Oh well, I made some money... 2nd Job when I was 15, after being fired from the paper-route was at a bakery as a dishwasher/janitor. It was the best job I ever had... I only worked 3 hours a day after school, and it only took me about an hour to get my work done if I really busted my ass, and the rest of the time I just hung out, got stoned, played hacky-sack, listened to music... Worked in a pizza place after that, another fun job... After a while though, you start depending on your job for income, like when you move out of your folks house and whatnot, so you have to take things a bit more seriously... I say have fun with it while it lasts...

My first job is my present job now, that is I work in the Detail bay for a car dealership(Buick-Pontiac-GMC) where we clean the cars up and make them look perfect, I also help clean the floors there.

My parents own a furniture delivering buisness, they take the shit from the factorys here and take them to the people that buy them in Texas and set it up and shit in their house, I help them load trucks some times before they leave out! not a lot of money but it keeps me alive from model car to model car

I was a busboy for Outback Krackhouse(aka Outback Steakhouse)
Good pay($2.13/hr + tipshare which was usually about $60 a night) but the hours were HORRIBLE(3pm - 1am) and the drama/BS that was in the place was too much to deal with. So I promptly quit....After a year and a half:finger:
