Yes, babysitting was my first paying job. I "sat" at about seven different homes in our neighborhood. In my junior year of HS I got a job at K-Mart and worked there until right before I graduated.
My first car was a 1978 silver Camaro. I loved that car and thought I was just the bomb for having it!

Two years later when I got married (yes, I was just a baby) we sold it.
