Kiwis, what was your first job? 👀
I worked my parents' last nerve at home, so they had me work at a nearby Pizza Hut. My job was to keep the all-you-can eat buffet stocked. Even minimum wage felt pretty good back then, ngl

Pizza delivery driver! I don't think what I earned would even cover fuel now. 😆

My very first (after school job) was in the local chemist in Auckland in the early 80s. I was 13 years old. They got me to do general tidying, dusting and sorting stock out back. Then, I was given the prescriptions to put in the front basket of my bike and had to ride down the road to the pensioners village to deliver the drugs, take the cash, and give change if any was needed. I guess my first job was being the local drug donkey! You wouldn't hear of it now! I got paid $1 for an hours work!
