I started giving home tuition at the age of 17, when I was a school student. I used to teach Math to 3 students of age 10. So, I started earning at the age of 17. I loved teaching them and decided that I wanted to become a teacher.
During my masters, I conducted online spoken English classes.
Now I am a full time Math teacher.

I started earning when I babysat at age 13 and at 16 when I had various weekend jobs. My major earnings came after I received my Masters Degree, 6th Year Degree, and 30 credits beyond as a general education and special education teacher and as an adjunct professor at the university.

When I was 11 my mom worked at a cafe. She put together paper bags with about 3 donuts in each. My brother and I took those and sold them door to door around our neighborhood. It was a lot of fun and we got to make some money doing it.

@Sheali I started earning some money at a young age but that was from doing things around the house. My first real job didn't come around until I was about 14 / 15 but I didn't stay there very long.

I actually started earning very early on. Probably about 7 or 8 some friends and I would go door to door offering to wash cars. My first "real" job was at age 14 hanging flyers on doors for Dominos pizza. I think I made around $2.50 an hour if I recall.

The very first time i earned money was when i was 14 years old. I helped the school teachers to count the votes because it was election time. It was in 1994 and they paid me 8Usd for the day i spent there, i was still in high school then.
The second one was when i was 22, I worked in the office as a researcher.
