You can legally work for a parent at that age.

I hope most of the "no" votes are accidents for the higher age range.

29, 30 in May. Currently at my job now.

Had some long stretches of unemployment in the past, though.
---

23

I've had four jobs and currently work
---

Who the fuck has made it to 18 without having to work?
---

35. Am working at the same place I've been for the past 6 1/2 years (or is it 7 1/2 now? I've lost track, but one or the other)
---

Got my first job at 16. I'm 27 now, and haven't had a single day of unemployment since I started working.
---

15 when I got my first job at mcdonalds
---

Got a summer job at McDonalds at 16. Still have it for when uni is out.
---

34, and no.

Fucking hate that I entered the job market during the recession, and hate even more that I'm at the absolute mercy of employers to give me a chance at anything. And if the fellow competition for scraps out there wasn't bad enough, but now I have the advent of automation to worry about too.

Legit wondering if I wouldn't be better off finding out if I can mail-order a cyanide pill, it's obvious by now that I'm excess human stock that will never have a place in the world. Literally never should have been born at all.

That is not true AT ALL. Every person has a reason to live. Just because you are unemployed past 30 doesn't mean you don't have a future, because I'm willing to bet that there is something out there that you would be great at.

I won't pretend like I know you or that I know what your skills and talents are, but please do not think like that!

Please talk to someone if you feel that way: 1-800-273-8255

I am here to talk as well. I may not know you, but I am here.
