I think as I recall my first job (real job) started at $1.60/hr. I was working as a "go-fer"/cleaner in a meat department in a local grocery (2 stores) in the next town over. Think I was about 16 also. Prior to that I did odd jobs around the neighborhood like mowing lawns, helped a furniture re-upholsterer pick up and deliver furniture when needed. Helped a heating and AC guy as a helper/gofer sometimes, washed cars, that sort of thing.

glad things turned out well for dd2's checkup. between the traffic, the scheduling, or lack thereof you needed a Calgon moment when you got home but what did you get, hay hauling. life on the farm, good thing we love it. I agree with @Baymule, hay in the barn is like money in the bank. I always love it when the hay is in the barn for the winter.
boy have you guys brought back memories. my first job was at the Thrifty Cash, a little grocery store in the tiny town I lived in. i'm not sure I even made a dollar an hour. I was 14

We got a whopping 40 cents an hour out doing labor in the fields and general farm work. The only decent money (for the time and area) was in late summer picking peaches. You could bust your behind but you got paid by the bushel and could make a whole couple of dollars an hour. ;)
And all the damaged peaches you could eat?
