Looks like the minimum wage in my state in 2000 was $6.25. I made somewhere around that working in a bagel and coffee shop at age 15. Plus tips. I was happy - I got all the coffee and food I wanted!

My first job I got paid around $4/hour but it was under the table. My first REAL job when I was in HS was at a video store and I made around $7/hour which was actually above minimum wage (which was $4.25).

My 2nd real job was also while I was in HS, but it was awesome. I worked for the city as a lighting and sound technician at my HS and made $17/hour. I wish I could still have that job. Except for the asbestos...
