On air radio DJ at 14. No kidding. I had grown up with my bedside radio as my best friend. I'd sit for HOURS at night and go up and down that AM dial seeing what far off radio stations I could find. By the time I was 14, I started driving the local radio station owner NUTS to give me a job. I would ride my bicycle up there every Wednesday after school and sit in the lobby. He avoided me like the plague, but the other DJs thought I was the coolest kid EVER and taught me everything! Finally, they started bugging him, and to shut us all up, he hired me at 14! Within 3 months, he moved me to the 7pm to Midnight show! I'm now 45, have been doing syndicated radio for 20 years, and have never had any kind of a job that was not as an on air DJ. First salary was $3.35 per hour.
