Re: How old were you when you got your first real job?

I'm 17 and my first "real" job was this summer (last day is Monday) at BorgWarner, Inc. in Ithaca. I worked 8-5 (1 hour lunch in there) as "Co-op Tool Designer in Plant 2" (or so said the notes in my user profile)... basically, I get paid very well to learn SolidWorks 2005 by working on detailing a set & rivet machine for BorgWarner in Italy along with various other tools/parts. I enjoyed the money but hated working in an office/cubicle with no view of the outside world. Some of the tasks were repetitive. I liked the people since many knew me through robotics, but something tells me I'm not the office type. Plus, it took away a lot of time that I would spend with friends who are about to leave for college or have already gone. Instead of stuff during the day, I'm usually out to 1 or 2am and have not had nearly enough sleep for summer. But meh, just one more day
