Changed oil and rotated tires during the summer break at a dealership in 2006.
I was 15 making $5.45 an hr.
Eta: Didn't have a license so driving the cars around the lot alone was a blast to me

My first job was helping my dad mow grass at 10. I'm 38 now and I still help him some and get paid $0.
I made $0 but my parents fed me, clothed me, paid for private school, and bought me a new truck when I was a junior.

In that case, I was nine. No "helping" cut grass. My dad never in his life cut a fricking blade of grass. We lived in apartments until I was nine and then we moved into a shitty rent house with a shitty, sloped like a mf'er yard.

Filling ice bags at the small craft harbor bait shop. Summer between 8th & 9th grade. It was easy as hell, but I had to be there at 4am every day.

In Kindergarten I was picking pecan by hand on a 100 acre property (after the mechanical picker had gone thru). Me and my many sisters picked that place clean and made enough to go to Disneyland. We were paid a penny a pecan,lol.
First real job - working in the auto-parts and sporting goods in K-Mart, the year after graduation when I was 16. Then a cannery in Alaska at 18. Good times!!!

Outback in Metry as a busboy. 15 years old. 2.13/hour plus tips, came out to about $10/hour. Was awesome. At 16 I asked for a raise or I would be going elsewhere, got bumped to $5/hour plus tips. I was ballin.
Also got a second job at 17 working at Abercrombie. Job was boring as hell and they hired what seemed like hundreds of people, so hours were hard to come by.

Well shite, y'all keep lowering the standards. I picked pecans at my great grandma's in Hazen, AR as young as I can remember. Gathered eggs in the hen houses and other odd jobs around the farm. No indoor plumbing, swimming in irrigation ditches, and other country shite. And this was in the 80's. And cutting her grass with one of those old arse, non motorized reel mowers.

Lifeguard at 17. I don't recall the pay. I'd done a bit of babysitting prior to that, but that doesn't really count.

Lifeguard at a small town country club swimming pool. 17. Just 9 hole golf course, couple of tennis courts, medium sized swimming pool, and a big barn-like clubhouse, but some of those pretentious assholes thought it was Bushwood. I came to despise most of them by August.
And my family were members, too, so I'm not saying it out of jealousy.
