My first job was at 12yo in 1976, as a paper delivery boy, started at 5am through to 7am mon to sat. $24 a week or $2 p/hr.
Every job these days require 3 years experience, even cleaning and shelf packing.
Seen a few job requirements 16-18 yo with 3-5 experience and a degree...WTF.
Alot of people can't find work because of lack of experience for starter jobs.
mate, im in it for the stories. forget the drives. love your content here in the bahamas!!
also, first job was at 13 on the weekends behind the grill at an australian owned pub cooking 25kg of prime rib on charcoal each day
@@wh0dunnitgaming Thanks mate, sounds like an awesome first job
I first started working at the age of 15 in a big hotel in Kenilworth in the uk. I was employed as a kitchen assistant. Washing pot and pans, etc. I lied to get the job because I should have been 16. I can't really remember how much I got, but I loved the job, and i still enjoy washing up and cleaning now im 64. But then when I left school I became an apprentice engineer and my first wage was 17 pounds a week. This is 1976. And I gave my mum 10 pounds and I kept the rest. God, they were happy days.
here's a reminder , PUT THE BLOODY MICROWAVE PLATE IN properly... ...good , now my first job apart from fruit block work at Waikerie was driving a forklift for William Charlicks in London Rd Mile End, SA, then drove a tray truck for John Dring around Adelaide until I bought my first Semi in 1972, it was a Commer Car Carrier with 210 Cummins on Adelaide/Sydney , that was the start of 30 years in trucks,
@@dougtilley5977 thanks mate, left work and still hadn't done it yet

My first full time job was apprentice baker in 1980.
My starting salary was $175 per week, plus overtime plus penalty rates.
My take home pay was over 350 per week, friends who took other trades were paid about $70 on average
The over time was from 9 pm to 3am was double time as apprentices were not allowed to start until 3am, would generally finish about midday so I was getting 36 hours per week at double time.
The money was incredible for the time.
We worked long hard hours 6 days per week all manual labour
Can't live without bread
My first job at 17 was at my families business. $18 p/h and it was casual with full time hours. I started out washing trucks and traliers, helping out in the workshop, jumping in the yard truck and moving trailers around the yard. I then got my forklift license and started legally driving forklifts. i was the backup forkie, goto unload trucks and unpack containers and even drove the container fork a few times.
I thought i was king shit being able to drive container forks and float gears in the yard truck at 18. I had grown up going there on weekends and holidays with dad so I knew the people and i knew the ropes. being part of the family defiantly had it's benefits. i think any other 18 year old would've been a broom pusher there
great start
Happy Birthday Shano! I worked as 14 yr old doing the milk run,newspapers and odd jobs at factories. Finished year 10 at 16 yrs straight into a 4year Railway Apprenticeship as a Mechanical Fitter. We were paid $92.80 cash a week (Gross) I thought i was rich😂😂 Kids nowadays won't even work for that a day! Stay safe out there mate😎👍
@@dextermorgan5893 expecting to be paid the big dollars when fresh out of school these days
71 years old now, first job was pumping petrol at the Ampol at the end of my street.
I was still at school and worked on the weekends, 10 hours for $1 per hour, cash in hand.
1st paid job was in 1980's @ 13 years old washing & greasing 10 semi tipper every Saturday morning, that turn into full weekend in a few months along with learnt to drive them so i did need help moving them with maintenance duty's & fuelling, loading/unloading grain & fertilizer in yard & on farms close by (with in 20 Kms).
Love to see what the cops would do now day's if they catch you doing that stuff now days, as when I was old enough to get a car licence @ 18 year old the local Sargent ask if i wanted a truck one too after the amount of times i been seen driving them.
Around Syd and Melb, where you have extortionate rent and property costs, nobody's jumping at gate lining up for a 25/30 buck an hour job. Especially if it requires hundreds of dollars worth of forklift and other licences. I live in remote SA and I work part time for the courts, it's not much but it's something to keep the lights on.
After 2 years on the Road Train Car Carrier Bris/Darwin I got to know Trish Newman of Newman Transport, bought a T-line 2670 from her , we still good friends today, doing a few Pilot vehicle jobs for her. I love being out on the roads.
First job, Paper boy, which doesn't exist now days. Suggest if you win the lotto, don't keep on working, get yourself a 4WD and caravan, do the big lap, get yourself a passport, and see the world. I'm retired and keep myself busy travelling and volunteering at the local Coastguard.
another great video, great story, and happy birthday mate!
@@bobfreddy7087 thanks mate
i worked through covid, milk run, no traffic was awesome, bring it back 😆
Usual firdt jobs as a kid, did paper run sunday mornings and milk run tuesday thursday nights only couple hrs each day, can't
remember the pay but got free FM flavoured milks. But first job I looked for in year 7/8 was cleaning the inside of buses $20per bus, would do
2 each afternoon after school 5 days a week, bus depot was behind our house so I would just jump the back fence.
G’day from the pommies. Loving your videos from Leeds England. My first job was a butcher. I got £88 a week. Love the Kenworth but put the bloody plate back in the microwave. All the best from the uk.
@@andrewhenden8192 thanks andrew
Ha ha, great story!!! Mine was nearly the same...16y/0 part time cleaner, got picked up at 4pm after school and dropped off at home usually around 7pm. Piss easy, Coles stores, sweep the floors, mop the floors, use an electrical polishing/vacuum machine, I think i got around $25 bucks cash twice a week!! Like you, yahoo!!! Rolling in it!!! That was 1978. I then went full time......fark, got picked up at 4am and dropped off around 7pm. First weeks pay $60!!!! When i asked where the rest of the pay was, he said id gone from casual rates tofull time rates....
Gday, 14 years old to 15 as a kitchen hand, cleaner and chicken gutter at the local chicken and chips place. After i had to leave school my dad got me the job.
Greek couple as bosses were awsome to me, george and sophie.
loved the early stages of covid the roads were empty
As a truck driver i loved fucking Covid lock down in Melb was the best i hate every one on the road now it’s even worse 😂
Covid was great, no traffic. The mask thing sucked tho. Refused that scan app, used to sign the book. Mike Hunt sure got around.
I work in Sydney as a forky . Everywhere is underpaying . 23 dollars an hour full-time.
No thanks
Now at Coles as a forky , on 33 an hour full-time .
I appreciate that you would work, whether you need to or not. But for me, I retired at 48 because I reached the point where I no longer need to work. I hope to never need to work again. Instead, I will do whateever I feel like doing. Having said that, I am working towards being in a position where I can get a job in Japan because that is the thing that I want to do.
But yeh, it is a far cry from bludging on the dole your whole life, like I think you were talking about. If you don't want to work you need to make financial decisions to position yourself so you don't need to work first.
@@MrGundawindy yeah that was the point I was getting at
Loving the POV camera, Shane!
@@quadrifern thanks mate
I basically finished yr 10 barely, I got a storeman/forklift job back when you could get a LF general for $160 in a days course then I got my Ps back when it was only for a year. I found a job as a driver/clerk position for a freight forwarding company...that's when I got the taste of transport for some stupid reasons whoever thought was a good idea to put expiry on forklift tickets because I was on the road I didn't bother paying the money to renew it not thinking about what happens if I loose my driver's licence for a backup..Back in my days 😂 you could only go up to MR from your unrestricted licence were today you can get a HR on your green Ps then to MC.. I could only jump from MR to HC that was the rules....My story is proof that the transport industry can chew you up spit you out and leave you for dust....I ran a pedestrian over killing them 24yrs ago on the job I was literally let go because obviously I couldn't preform my duties suffering PTSD it was a fukd up scene if you can imagine...I was given no support absolutely nothing and was left to face the trauma and the charges with court alone over 2yrs later I was addicted to alcohol a complete mess and broke financially fighting for my innocents and finally I won the case as an accident but that didn't change anything I was basically dead man walking with nothing...Basically I know nothing else but transport but as an addict try holding a job as a operator long story short found myself in jail being a fukn drunkn retard come out homeless I was housed with departments of housing in the middle of nowhere to basically retire no family, friends no job prospects no transport NOTHING then they pensioned me off on disability rather then help me....currently I'm still looking for someone to give me a crack but with no work reference or anything I'm struggling to get a foot back in the door....I've recently managed to save enough money to upgrade to MC I've completed my knowledge and medical for upgrade but still no bites and I hear there screaming for operators...no one wants to give me a go without contactable reference and a vehicle to get to anywhere were there maybe a position ...true story Transport is great when they can use you but once your not wanted or needed they can throw you out like a piece of rubbish...I've gotten myself clean now with no rewards...and no I didn't get any compensation or TPD from super because back in those days before everything gone woke mental health was classified as a grey area not black and white so hard to prove so no win no fee lawyers wouldn't touch it and obviously Statue of limitations is up
"It wasn't a sex dungeon" Dude...I lost it on that one :)
Happy Birthday Shane!

@ 6:02… “Working through Covid” 😷😷😷. Shane, I work on the railways here in NSW (in customer service) & we were lucky to have been able to hold onto our jobs & we suffered at least a 75 - 80% drop in customer patronage but we at least got to keep our jobs. At a location of nearly 200 staff, I was 1 of just 5 people who never got sick through the pandemic as I took social distancing to the extreme, staying at least 10 or more metres away from people unless it wasn’t possible. Your impression of the junkie winning the pokies was hysterical 😂😂😂. My first job was at a disinfectant manufacturer & lasted a little over a year before I left after falling into a vat of pine scented disinfectant 😳😳😳. I smelled like a forest for about 3 weeks after that 😂😂😂
there could of been much worse smells, glady it wasn't a bad one
@@shanehastattoos … I reckon ☝️😆. Hey.. It could’ve been at a sewerage treatment plant & I could’ve smelled like shit 💩🤮💩. At the time, I had to shower for close to an hour before the smell would slightly disappear. I had no trouble getting a seat on public transport at the time (16, fresh out of school & at my first job) 😆😆😆
@ 28:32… I know you didn’t want it mate, but… HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE 👍🥳🎂🎂🎂
😅 thanks though
@@shanehastattoos … I hope your day was a great one 👍😁🍺
memorys ..... Happy Bitrhday
thanks tony
Put the plate back on in the microwave try super I didn't it in mine bouncing around in a 908 and it never moves
you sir are smarter than I, definitely going to do this
👍👍👍

Westpac - first job and never again. It was total shite, oppressive environment and the most unhappy group of people that I ever worked with, looked constantly depressed.Terrible place.
