Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Our entire eighth grade class got their's at once. A "class" project. Assignments included memorization of them the next day! We had two classmates whose numbers were one apart. It's amazing to me that babies get them before they leave the hospital! On another note, our original tab from our first cards specifically said "Not to be used for identification"....that we were only to give them out if we were going to get paid. So, I do not give mine out unless absolutely necessary. _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	I always thought I had a fair memory of such times but I honestly don't remember when I first got a real social security card! It feels like I've always had it! It's funny how we got ours later when I remember my daughter having hers as a toddler! _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	My family had a business and I started working when I was 12-13. It was expected that I'd do something with them. So their accountant gave me my SS card. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	16 yrs. old. I got my first ever paid job at a coffee and doughnut shop...where I got fired after the lst week. I think the owners found me too nervous and serious. A coffee shop needs warm, comfy personalities. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	I used to work in old age homes for summer jobs. That's when I got my first social security card. I was pretty excited, but disapointed to see how much was left over after taxes. I worked two entire summers to pay my father back for driving a friend's car off a bridge; and that without having a driver's liscence. I was a bad bad girl, (but geez, I had a heck of a lot of fun. )

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Now that I think of it, I must have gotten my card at around age 15 because that was my first job. I worked at the Dairy Queen for about 6 months. Before that I was a hospital Candy Striper for two summers and I think that was what made me love caregiving so much. Edelweiss, I couldn't help but laugh about your mishap and having to pay off your father. I had a similar experience when I first got my license. I was stoned (yeah, I was) and failed to negotiate a curve at night. I kept right on going off the road, rolled down a hill and nicely landed upright on a pile of rocks....in my mother's car. You bet I paid for that one!!! _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett
