How Much You Get ?
Reading ATC's post about his first job and wage got me thinking about this very thing.
How much did you make at you very FIRST job ?
JUST you First Job only and description Please.
Me ?
First Job was delivering prescriptions on my bicycle for a drug store in 1964 for $0.40 /hour (yes 40 cents per hour) .
I was 14 at the time.

Aside from lawn cutting and paper routes etc., my first job in a store, (I think 1962)I got paid 97 1/2 cents an hour. I'm not sure if that was my low or not. When I joined the service in 1966 I was getting $88 a month before taxes.

In 1976 I was 14 and doing yard work and other odd jobs at my buddy's grandparents place for $2.00/hour. They had big place with a nice pool and all the Coca-Cola I could drink.

four cents a bale when in 1994. I was eleven years old chuking bales in a hay loft. Also got five dollars a pen to shovel a calf pen that had a foot of straw with manure mixed in. I think I averaged about 4 bucks an hour.

I was like Neb86 grew up on a farm. First real job was self owned operated. Cut, split by hand,stack and sell fire wood. Hard to figure out what hourly rate would be with cost overhead and hours always differed.
