First money making venture was killing snakes in my neighbors yard's at a dollar a head when I was about 7 or 8 years old because our neighborhood was infested with garter snakes literally hundreds of them. My first "job" was A Baseball umpire when I was 15. Got paid between $25-$50 depending on age level per game for little league and $75 per game for travel ball. And would usually work about 5 games a week during the summer.

On my first job I was a janitor. And this was a very bad work. Because my boss didn't care about anything but his mind and was stupid as a donut.
I was working there during 6 months and then I quit. Though I didn't receive my last salary, because, as I said, he didn't care.
Now I work on a new job where I receive the monthly amount of old job money per day and I'm quite happy here.
Cheers!

Worked a month to help out a previous boss after I handed in my notice, so that he could have time to replace me. Never got paid, got advice from Citizens Advice Bureau and a union to the effect that my best possible outcome would be to get that pay back and no more, through a court case that I'd have to pay out of my pocket for. Mental, it momentarily ruined my life and he just managed to.. get away with it.

I worked at a little corner convenience store. 14 years old, completely under the table, cash in hand. Because of that I would be doing things like handling and selling cigarettes, knives and commercial chemicals even though I was clearly underaged. It wasn't bad, but my mum had signed me up without my knowledge and I wanted to to focus on my studies so I quit after around 9 weeks. If I stayed I would have been let off 2 months later when the store underwent new management.

First legal job was as an assistant to the auto detailer at a Toyota dealership during college.

 

First actual job though was as general labor for my uncles masonry company during summer vacations in HS. Got paid cash under the table as it was illegal to have a full time job like that when only 15 but it was nice. In those 2 and a half months I made more then the other kids that worked year round part time jobs during HS.
