Do you remember your first programming job?

zridling:
Paid or unpaid. What, when, where? I'm curious.

Grorgy:
well, it was in my first full time job after leaving school, I was a computer operator, not a programmer, we wanted a printout that said merry xmas and I got the job of doing it, in COBOL, and I even punched the cards myself  ;)

On April 15, 2006, 06:17:03 AM, I made my first dollar* from coding.

I have it framed and hanging on the wall above my desk, signed by the wonderful guy that gave it to me...

Yup, that's right...I made my first dollar here.  :-*



*It was actually more than a dollar, but it's the first dollar that counts the most. Unlike other dollars, its symbolic value is quite precious and greatly exceeds the $1.00 face value that the government says it is worth.

Renegade:
I don't remember... I wish I did.

mouser:
My first programming jobs were in high school back in the mid 1980s, written in Basic.  Fun times.  I was very lucky to have a friend of the family who was extremely generous with his time and energy in guiding me to some paying projects and working with me on them.
