1977, $2.30/hour working as a concession clerk at the Whitney Theatre. Boss was Mr. Spodick. I quit after he commented about how my sweater was "tight" (it wasn't, he was just a perv). But I got to see the first Star Wars and The Spy Who Loved Me for free.

I was a part-time/full-time Kelly Girl for 7 years. My first full-time job was a temp job in Boston at NYNEX doing data entry. I think I got around $6/hour. Minimum wage in MA was $3.05/hour. I quit it to return to busking (street musician) where I averaged $10/hour in cash and made my own hours.
