Not my first job, but since it's Labour Day, my first unionized job: fisheries shore worker in a cannery. ~$15/hr, which in 1993 was very good. Shout out on Labour Day to the United Fisheries and Allied Workers Union!

Wow! $15/hr is what TAs at #SMU are paid in 2025

Yuuuup. That kind of wage stagnation is a huge part of what makes university unaffordable.
