My first job pay squat becasue I was working for my parents. However, my weekend job (mowing lawn & gardening) pay $5.00 CAD per hour (minimum wage was $3.40 CAD).

[edit] It was 25 years ago, and I was 13 year old.

I think I made $4.15 an hour at my first job. I had a job before that that I was getting paid under the table, so I won't count that one.

nah. but pretty close though. used to work as a tutor at Kumon for $6.50/hr back in high school (11th - 12th grade). only M, W, F 6-9pm. The only reason i stayed there was because some cute girls (my age...no im not a pedophile) used to work there also.

$4.25/hour at age 15 back in 1994 working as a lifeguard. I was pissed because all the other pools were paying over $5/hour, but I was working at the only one close enough to ride my bike to.

my first job, I broke just over 100/hr.

Problem was, there was almost no work to do and I could rack up hours.

In 2000: as a busboy $4/hour + tips (averaged around $12 an hour); as a counterperson at a pizza place $8/hour

In 2002: got bumped down to $7 an hour as a delivery driver, but made much more due to tips (about $15/hour on avg)
