My mother wouldn't let me have a job. I know what you're thinking, "Why did you let your mom tell you what to do?" Uh, cause I was a minor up til that point and didn't have a car that was legally mine. I did get a job behind her back like a month before graduation and she was pissed even though a) it was only like two hours a day a few days a week, b) I graduated at the top of my class, and c) I was literally an adult by that point.

Go figure then that during/after college, she constantly pestered me about getting a job and was shocked that my lack of experience really hurt me when it came to getting other jobs. I can't tell you how many interviews I had that basically ended with "We're looking for someone with more experience in [industry]" when it was shit like flipping burgers or stocking shelves.
