I always tell people I did some boxing and made $1.00 an hour.
Boxed tomatoes at a packing plant in high school while the migrants picked them in the fields. They were paid $.25 a bushel.

$5.15 at a ski resort. The free ski pass and half off food at the lodge was the biggest incentive to work there however.

$2.50 installing the fluorescent lighting fixtures in the unfinished upper floors of the One American Place building. Why they let a bunch of 15 year old kids run free in that huge building with no supervision is beyond me. We snooped around in numerous executive's offices.

I worked at Thomas Boyd and got 4/hour. After a year of working on campus, you get a .25 raise an hour. Just so happens that the minimum wage also increase to 4.25 that year. Mine wasn't raised to 4.50/hr.

$5.15 at True Value when I was 15

In 1989 I started working for my dad after school and the minimum wage was $3.35. I was happy to get the money!
I was only 13 when I started, but it taught me a lot.
