My first job was not avoluntary job. I got my first job right after navy. I never worked as avolunteer. I think many years ago people had enought paid jobs, so they did nat need to volunteer. Today it is hard to find a job, so people volunteer to get some experience. I think that is good when retired ppeople volunteer because they need something to do.If they sit at home, they concentrate on their problems and get depressed.Therefore, it is good for them when they comunicate with others and fal needed, Also,i think that yaung people who are in schools can volunter too, so they can pick a field to major in, I think for women who born kids it is better to stay at home and raise their kids.Men should not get maternity leaves because they are providers for their families, so women can take care of kids when men work and earn maney for their families.

My first job was paid. I was an employee of Vietnam Post and Telecommunication. I worked at there for four years. After that, my company was bankruptcy so I lost my job. I found a new job at the restaurant. I was a waiter. They had not paid more money and other benefits that I deserved it while I worked very hard. So it was the worst job that I have ever had.

My first paying job was when I was 12 years old. I remember when a lady came to our house and asked my mom if I could work at her home, as a housekeeper.

I was born and lived until the age of 48 years in a communistic country. In such a country, things go differently than in a democratic country. There, after finishing high school, if you don’t the exam to go to college, you are obliged to go to work. However, in high school is much volunteer work. It was called patriotic work. We were forced to participate in agriculture harvest, in factories where they were behind the production plan or simply to clean the city. My first paid job was in a drug factory. In fact I worked there for 25 years. It was my only paid job in Romania. Well, I liked to work, and I can’t think what was the worst job I did. About maternity, in Romania, I must admit that mothers are privileged. After birth, mothers don’t go to work for two years and are paid during this period with 85 percent of the salary that they had it before birth. And rightly so, women should stay home to care for their children. In fact a woman should not have a job. In my opinion, are pretty much home work to do for a woman. Cooking food, house cleaning, child care and education, all these keep women busy for the whole day. Maternity is inappropriate for men. Maternity is just for women. This is the reason that is not called paternity.

The very first job I had was voluntary at a local community center to teach music.The one and only job I had after college was private violin lesson and I like it a lot so technically I've never had a worst job. However, I did have several impolite students in my career.I think that women should get for maternity leave because they need to recover and take care the infant. I think 30 days is required for recovery then another 30 or 60 days to do infant care as well as losing added weight. I think a father should also get the paternity leave as well to assist infant care and to do house chores while the mother is recovering. I would prefer to work from home, so I can raise my kids while I am helping out the financial goals. It is very important for a job to have a retirement plan because without it the person will have to work until they can't; then I don't think age really matters in retirement. It deals more with the person's financial stability at the projected retirement age. Well, there is a health issues too, but to speak for myself, I would say 65 for today's stand point. I think it is a great idea for retire people to do voluntary work. This will promote them with active lifestyle and they can quit any time they would like, so it won't cause much stress.

My first job was concerned with cosmetics for women. I was a sales manager. My job was to talk with clients from different cities, to collect orders for products and to solve all problems with deals. In the beginning it was very difficult to get used to, but then I realized that I really like this job. It was very interesting. Every new day was not like the previous one. I really enjoy dealing with people.

My first job wasn't voluntary because in my native country no one wants work for free. My first job was at the big shop as a clerk. I had been working there with my sister for over 2 years. I had been really enjoying this job, but than that shop closed because of financial problems. Then I found a job at the market. It was the worst experience in my life because we were working through the cold ukrainian winters and I left this job in a few month after start. I don't like work at home because I don't like be alone,and also when you aren't working at home it's easily make friends. Since than I have not been working because i have two daughters and I must take care of them. I personally suppose that women should be with children,and men should work at the very beggining of child's birth.

My first job in the United States was a janitor to a club in downtown, city of St. Paul Minnesota. The job paid $5.25 per hour. It looks like very low paid compare to today, but that was the maximum pay. I believe that was the worst job I ever had. The job was four hours of labor for two people, but it had a lot of responsibilities. The restaurant, men and women restroom, and the club were on the fist floor and second floor. Good thing I was young, fast, and strong. First of all, I have to sweep all the floors then mop and polish them. The men and women restrooms were very messy. The bar sections were sticky and had broken glasses every single morning. I don't mind to work indoors or outdoors. I thing that it is very important for people to retired. Why? Because like they say "You have been working hard for the money and now it's time to rest. In my opinion, the age one should retired is in the mid 50 ths.

My first job was with my father in her restaurant, I remember was always full especially in weekend's is was very famous "El Tabaquero"I was help a hostess , I was get money. I never had a worst job. I think that women should get maternity leave because the baby's need her mother almost 6 month take care a baby. The father should not get maternity leaves because they are provider anything at home. I prefer work from home. Because the mother always is better in home, organize everything in home. A course is very important have a retirement plan because is alternative solutions in case emergency. The best age to retire is 55 women and 60 men. Good idea for retired people to do voluntary jobs because the older people have good feelings.

I have not had any real paying jobs. However, I have helped my grandmother with chores around the house in Taiwan. Since it is the only job I have ever had, I can say that it is the worst and best job I have ever had. I think that men and women should be paid equal. A mother should be allowed to leave if she has a baby but a father should be allowed too, only his break should not be as long. I don’t really care where I work, but it would be nice to work in a store like Starbucks. I is important to have a job that helps retirement since it is good for your future. Voluntary jobs are also good since it helps everyone in the community.

I got my first job when I was 16 years old. I was working part-time at Carls Jr and it was one of the worst jobs that I have ever had. I would work from 5 to 10. So every day when I get off from school, I would have to go straight to work. I didn’t get much rest and didn’t really have much time to study or do my homework. I was always around greasy food and smelled like fries after I got off. Luckily I didn’t gain weight from working at a fast food restaurant.

My first job paid. Once I had the worst job. The employer is often delayed salaries. It was terrible. I had a lot of problems. I wasn’t to pay anything. I think that women should get for maternity leave. Some, countries practice maternity leave for a father. If mother has a better job why not. I prefer to job outside home. I think very important for a job to have retirement plan. I can’t to say anything about the retirement age. Some, retired people prefer to do voluntary job why not. They want helpful.

My first job was with my uncle and i got to say those were one of the toughest days of my life. I started off as a carpet installer then moved up flipping homes for the bank. I was getting paid ten dollors an hour and at the time i was sixteen so i thought it was great. After five months i seen that i was getting ripped off so i had to leave to find another job. I think its good that they have retirement for every job. Whos going to take care of you once you past your late fiffties? Obviously no one! So if your thinking about retiring I think fiffty five is a good age to retire.

My first job was a salesgirl in a small shop. I was fourteen years old and for me it was hard. I was working full time. I believe that if a woman gives birth, she should get maternity leave. I think that men should not give maternity leave, because the man should make money and provide for his family. I prefer to work outside the home. Probably the best return on retirement is fifty or sixty years. I also believe that work well for retirees volunteer because they do not feel so alone when they work.
