Question for anyone: How old were you when You started your first job?

16 and lasted only a month !

It is hard for me juggling mental health, daily life, planning your future, dealing with your education, money problems, stress and depression. The worst part about all this is I have to deal with this all on my own. I am 22 years old and I graduated 4 years ago. During those past 4 years, I have been pushing and struggling after graduation. I have been trying to do the best I can with what I have. But only to always see myself constantly making mistakes, and failing horribly. I am 22 years old and I am still stuck at my parents house struggling and suffering from mental health and life's cruelest ways. I feel ashamed and embarrassed to get my first at the age of 22.

My first job

I was 13! Working has always been extremely hard for me as I tend to leave jobs due to anxiety. My current job is the best so far but I still worry constantly.

At the beginning any kind of job can be good and mainly useful against ocd. Try to look for a job that it's suitable with your ocd. Don't care if you find a job that doesn't reflect your expectations. Important is that how you will feel. Good luck

Hey i want to tell you that my first job was at 16 but people are always going to fucking judge you, most of the people i know tell me that i was too old when i got my first job because they got it when they were 14 but that meand fucking nothing. You can have 5 years of experience on the job area but be a terrible worker or a terrible person to work with. Meaning that everyone’s meaving life at their own pace and rythm and you should find people that respect that. People that respect the fact that you have different difficulties when it comes to some specific things of life. AND THAT’S OK. Everyone has their shit, some people are lazy and that’s why they don’t get jobs or stick on them, som others find their passion until they are 50 years old or find the person they actually love until they’re 60..

Had a volunteer job in a charity shop from age 14, first paid job aged 17
