$4.25 an hour?! What, did you work for Bill Gates or something? My first job was $3.15 an hour :) at concession stands in St. Louis.
At 14 years old...got $1.25/hr at a peach drying yard. Then a job bagging groceries at a military grocery store for tips only (actually a good job, could often make $2/hr). Then later at various ag jobs that were seasonally available in the San Joaquin Valley: tomato packing shed, peach cannery, onion and garlic dehydrating plant, hoeing weeds in grape vineyards, etc.
All that was good motivation to get a degree and find something I enjoyed doing.
