re: How much did you make per hour at your first job?

$5 / hr working for a local contractor picking up garbage on job sites. I was 10 ish at the time.

$6. Late 90's early oughts, warehouse job after school all through high school.

We probably weren't worth $6/hr.

I bet folks were just dying for your services.

$10/day pulling weeds at a plant nursery. Seriously. I was 12 at the time.

$3.25

5.50/hr working on the farm. Back in 2003 I was 12 yrs old

First job was working at a horse stable, only job I could find when I was 13, but they paid by the task not the hour so I would make $40-$60 in a 2.5 hours after school and thought I was hot shite. I did buy my own TV and Nintendo 64 with all the launch games. First job on the clock was 5.15... way easier but no amount of hustle made it any better.

$3.35/hr 16 years old carrying out groceries.

Minimum wage 4.25. 40 hr week was 144 bucks.
Statewide mobile homes putting skirting around trailers while in high school early 90s..

$2.50 a yard, split with my brother. Mowing yards at 8 years of age.

First "adult" hourly job was $3.10 an hour. Working through college.

In between I hauled hay, worked a concession stand, etc.
