I wound up hurting my back and got broke of with some nice workmans comp checks after I quit.

At the age of 16 I had a summer job through a program for Low Income teens. One day as I struggled with typing and the demands of being treated like an adult in a job that I was not truly prepared for, I once again reviewed my high school credits. I realized that I only needed one or two courses to graduate. I resigned from the job and signed up for summer school and finished High School in the 11th Grade.
In hindsight I should have gone back to school for the 12th Grade to be better prepared for College. I should have at least focused on spelling. I was not ready for college. However, I never stopped the college goal. I now have 4 College Degrees. I am a "Life Learner."

I should have known it was bullshit when they told me the training was paid, but I had to work for a full week out of training before I could get paid for it.
Needless to say, I never got that training check. I bounced during lunch on my second day.

Aww man before law school...
H&R Block - When I was struggling to get a job, my girl put in an application for me for a "recruiting position", they wanted me to be a "marketing coordinator" on bankhead. I'm like cool - its a job and Ill deal with them bankhead ninjas if I can help be a staffing and retention/HR person. But...I thought it was one way... Basically they told me no - I'll be battling the liberty tax guy on some right next to the Church's chicken with nothing but a walkman, an H&R Block spandex suit, and whats left of my dignity slowly withering away. I was on the frontline of promoting the brand. 
The face of the company. What's worse...I stayed there for training and received a check for $24. I didn't even cash that shit and never fucked with them again, but I had to report this shit as a job on my bar application.
Paper mill/warehouse laborer off of Fulton Industrial. No words. Working from 6 to 8 everyday for $7 an hour to get enough money to apply to school and eat . Worked three whole days.This shit right here....damn! I was the only ninja not living in a half way house and they treated us like shit. There were bosses who couldn't even count telling me I wasn't shit. Literally telling me I would never amount to shit and I had already been excepted to law school. Damn buzzer going off for 30 min lunch and 15 min break. Man of all my life lessons - this was probably the best. Made me the person I am today.
