1st job minimal wage working for a newspaper during high school. We would spend the week manually assembling part of Sunday Paper with all the advertisements. Back then Sunday papers were heavy.

1st real job (low $20K?) as a Chemical Engineer in 1980. I remember we were given 5% increases after 6 months to keep pace with new college hires. Inflation was high back then.
