I was 14 and worked behind huge vegetable/fruit market stool at weekends and almost every day during school hols. Was really well paid for only morning work.
15 in a cooperage pressure testing, painting the ends and loading empty casks (barrels) onto trucks or into stock piles. Heavy work when you're only wee. Happy days!
I was 12 I started my own paper route. I went door to door getting customers. I started with 8, then a friend stopped delivering papers and added 35 or so more to my route. I was 18 when I got my next job.
