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.

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.

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

And all the damaged peaches you could eat?

Oh, look at the pretty blue eyes! Jk
Ditto on what Joe said, on all accounts. I had my face showing as my avatar early on here at BYH, but admin said it disturbed folks and asked I change it.
Now it's just bunnies.

OK Dave... not to get all weird here, but "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" and the sign says... (compliments; Five Man Electrical Band: Signs)

You can almost see the pup wondering when it will get something troublesome to chew on.
