My first "paying" job when I was ten, was to collect rocks on the Air Force Base golf course. We would get $0.25 a bucket.
My real paying job was tending bar starting when I was sixteen at a local pub after school and week-ends to help pay for my college tuition. Minimum wage but the tips were really good.
Being the only child of two Senior Officers, I didn't have to earn money but I was encourage to do so and learn some very valuable life lessons. Working in a Pub, you learn a lot about human nature.
