My first ever job was babysitting. I was 12 years old and I made $1 an hour. I mean, seriously. A dollar! I started off babysitting my younger sister’s friend who lived up the block. It was pretty easy money and I didn’t have much of a social life when I was 12, so it wasn’t a big sacrifice to babysit on a Friday night. “Going out” for my friends and me was a bike ride to Burger King where I am pretty certain a couple of bucks could get you a meal back then.
