For any individual, the first salary is always a big deal; a significant landmark. In the past as well, the tweeple had trended the #FirstSalary hashtag. More recently as well, Twitter was alight with memes about people's first salary as well as about the modest first salaries of some well-known celebs.
What and at what age did you get your first salary, asked this tweet. #JustAskingForReaseachPurpose said the tweet.
People shared what they earned and what they did with the all-important #FirstSalary.
A scenario where everyone exchanged their gifts is rather different from the filmi mother who weeps with joy when her offspring brings her a gift from their first salary.
This tweet shares a story not about a salary earned but about a theft which presumably earned a good thrashing.
Not really. A thrill nevertheless.
…From running errands. We've all earned from this source.
Many shared instances of earning their first money by tutoring students.
Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha (Thappad, Mulk, Article 15) shared the story of his first earnings – also from tuitions; to finance a smoking habit.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta shared the story about his first job, which went to finance his junior college wardrobe.
The veracity of these claims are not verified but it is inspirational for a lot of people to know that the rich and famous also had humble beginnings.
This commentator feels that some celebs are guilty of overacting.
With mom, apparently.
Some were sad that in all their years of earning they had still not learned any valuable lessons.
Some tend to be mistaken about exactly what they would be earning.
So while people were busy telling everyone about their humble #FirstSalary, others wanted to know what first salary these people drew and when.
