Your first paying job
Paperboy
I was in fifth grade and had a paper delivery route. There was about 30 households, so it took around and hour to complete each morning. That included cutting open the bundle and folding the papers. I earned about $60/wk.

Pinsetter
Back when I was still in high school, our Catholic church had a league that used two ABC-sanctioned alleys in the basement of the parish hall, installed in the 1950s (to replace 9-pin lanes that had been there earlier) . They had Brunswick B-2 pinspotters which still required someone to pick up and place the pins in the rack (and pick up and return the ball) and then lower them into position before scrambling up and out of the way. We worked 4 hours a night, two nights per week and got paid $4.50 per night – and occasionally one of the bowlers would treat us to a bottle of soda.
