My first job was the summer I was 11 years old. I picked crabs with my grandmother at a crab shop. We were there before sunrise, and knocked off at 2:00, generally. It was hard work, physically. Standing on your feet on cement (some ladies sat, but I would get tired of sitting). I liked being with my grandmother, though. There's also a tiredness to your body that is kind of satisfying when you do manual labor, it's different from working at an office or something. I learned to take my time and not get meat full of shells (the sign of a careless picker), and I learned NOT to pick out the big crabs from the pile (bad manners). I also learned to be respectful to old ladies. One old lady would tell the most outrageous stories as fact- and I learned not to talk back and to just listen.
I was paid in cash, under the table, since I was a kid. My mother told me to cut off and keep the corner of my first $100.00 bill, which I did. I still have it in my scrapbook.

My first job (if you want to call it that) was helping unload produce trucks at a farmers' market across the highway from us. I was probably 9 or 10 years old, and the owner would "hire" us to help unload the trucks when they came in. Sometimes he'd pay us 35 cents an hour, and sometimes he'd just give us a popsicle and say "thanks"....
One of my best olfactory memories came from when they would open the back doors of a refrigerated truck loaded with cantaloupe... almost heaven....
my first "real" job was (IIRC) working at a taco place... I had just started driving and worked afternoons til closing. I think I was making about $1.35 an hour...
I also worked at a donut shop about 3 hours per morning up until I graduated HS...
