I think 6.15 in 2002 as a telemarketer. Easily the shittiest job I have had and possibly in the top 10 out there.

1966 Worked in a hamburger joint for $0.75 per hour. Save my money and bought a $100 watch.

I broke it within a month and never owned an expensive watch again.

What the hell was wrong with it?

I enjoyed my time a lot. I got good tips, leftover beer from members, we got high and gambled in the cart shed when weather was shitty, and barely did any real work. Oh no, loading up clubs on a cart, drive them to the clubhouse, and clean the carts when they're done. Absolute cush job.

Working as a radio dj. Saved up to buy a Nakamichi cassette deck, Kenwood integrated amp and POLK audio speakers from Audio West.

It was so freaking cool.

Mcondalds 2006/2007. COE course in my senior year, so I left school after lunch to work. Pretty sweet deal and made my GPA way better (easy A and counted as 3 classes)

I think it was $5.75/hr. Whatever it was prior to current minimum wage

1994. I made just under $5/hour. Worked my arse off to help pay for my first car, a Mazda RX7. It had no power steering and was a POS.

My punk arse sister never worked and got a one year old Mercedes SUV at age 16, roughly 20 years later.
