I worked for my Grampa when I was about 9 or 10 wiring houses. He paid my sister and I a quarter an hour. The first job I had after that was working in the milo fields roguing. The farmer grew seed and we took out everything that was too tall, too short, the wrong color and all the weeds. I was 13. You were supposed to be 14 to work in the fields but my Aunt lied for me. I did that for two summers. I think I made 1.60 an hour the first year and 1.65 the second year.
