How much an hour did you make?
Mine was in 1974 making $2.10 per hour. I got a work permit at 14 years old during summer break.
Got a job with the city grounds department.
Sling blading roadside and ditches.
I learned my first week to pay attention in school.
Saved up and bought my 1st bike a Yamaha 175 Enduro from a cop no less.
Ahhh the good ol' days.

Kroger, bag boy (didn't last long as I ended up being a jack of all trades working in a different department to fill shortages every week)
16-18 years old - 2004-2006 (quit before starting USC where I got a really nice on-campus job that worked around my class schedule for 4 years)
Initially started out making $5.15 an hour.. I think after 2 years I ended up at $5.25 (what a joke). I left to work at Jersey Mike's for 1 month in December 2015 and even though I went to like $7.25 an hour, food service industry sucked balls and that was my only ever experience with it.
Since I didn't burn any bridges at Kroger I was happy to go back to $5.25/hr.
