I did a little babysitting when I was a teen and I forgot what I got paid. I remember one job where the couple came home around 1 in the morning and they gave me $20 and I was so happy. That was a good pay.
My first official job was 3.50 per hour in a store that was like a smaller version of Walmart, what used to be called a five and ten store, because the original was Woolworth’s which had items for five and ten cents. My wage was a touch above minimum wage at the time.
