evil knievel Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I turned 16 (although i got my birthday wrong over there <--, how do i change it??) a few months back and from then until now have beeen unable to work. broken collar bone AND THEN broken ankle... i swear "if it wasn't for bad luck i'd have none at all" anyways, i have been eager to work some where outside of the family bussiness which i have done since i could, and if i couldn't work i was watching my dad do it , but with my injuries its all been very frustrating. just wondering what your first jobs where just top give me a bit of inspiration i really want to do something in cars... but all you get to do in a garage when your 16 is make tea and change oil and spark plugs i'll do it if its all i CAN do in cars, but i'd really like to get a job at a car restoring place or something... hmm anyways first jobs every one?? if you can cast your minds back... i joke thanks all!
