Picking up hay bale for 10 bucks a day when I was 15.

cashier at Roy Roger's

When I was 13 and lived in NE, I had a job doing what's called roging (not sure on how it's spelled). I had to get up at 3am and go to the corn fields and pull up all the weeds. I got paid $3/hour and usually worked between 4 to 5 hours until the sun came up and it got too hot to work.

That was the hardest job I ever did.

At 16 worked in a 5&10 cent store(like Ben Franklin), made 50cents an hour. But living in the country, we always picked berries and walked to town to sell them...

I bet!

i started at 5 on the family farm,, tobacco, wheat, soybeans, things like that. and yes i got paid a share. as far as work in the world,, my first job was throwing ice off the back of a truck, and i got paid a penny a bag, to a 12 year old making 200 dollars a week aint too shabby

camp counselor: $4.35 (minimum wage back in the early 80's) ooooh, did I just give away my age!

"As if people have the right to give me odd jobs!"...the late great George Carlin be seeing you

Babysitting at age 10 - watching 3 kids (ages 4 months, 1 year and 2 years old, respectively) for 2 hours at 50 cents an hour while their parents were at church each Sunday. Kind of young to be sitting with such tiny people, now that I think back...but I guess everyone figured that my mother was right across the street, if I would have needed help.

First 'real' job? Department store clerk - the hosiery, hats and gloves counter. One of the toughest jobs I ever had. "The public" can be brutal! I've been extra nice to clerks and wait staff ever since.

Macy's gift wrap department.

NURING HOME I WAS A COOK

Me too. At a buck over minimum age, I was the highest paid 16 year-old around.

I was a babysitter starting at the age of 10. Made good money and was always needed somewhere. Not too much competition, I cornered the market in my area.

Underage job - babysitting, mowing lawns, cleaning houses, weeding gardens. Made anywhere from $3-$5 an hour. Not too shabby for a minature entrepeneur.

First *real* job as a 16 year old with taxes - car hop at Sonic. To this day I hate poodle skirts and roller skates!

I didn't have my first paying job until I was 19. I worked as a Pharmacy Technician at CVS/pharmacy for $7.50 an hour.

At age 12 babysitting for .75 an hour, and working as a file clerk for my grandmother for room and board

I use to pick up acorns up at my neighbors.$0.25 a bucket.

When i was twelve, my dad decided we would farm, and we did, more like i did...he had a regular job. The first year, we only tended fifty five acres, the next year, he rented another farm, and it went to 140 acres, by age 16, it was 500+ and we began to argue, by age 18, i told him i just didn't want to do it anymore...can you spell mistake? I can. During the off months, i worked on a chicken farm, picking up eggs for minimum wage, but it taught me a lot.

Roy rogers...................wow, I haven't heard that in yeeeeeeeeeeeears!

When I was 16 I was an office clerk in the Tax Collector's Office in the city I was living in at the time.
