Paper route as a kid that had to hit the steps no later than 6am or you get complaints, two complaints and your fired. You had to pay for all your supplies and the papers and then collect. After costs about 7.50 per customer if I recall.
At same time I also held down a lawn mowing/yard service. Averaged about 5.00 per lawn (10.00 if you count front and back). Consisted of mowing, edging, sweeping (no blowers at the time), cleaning up cat/dog shit, and some trimming/pruning for extra costs. Did about 30-40 yards a week.
While doing those two above after school or in the evenings when it was summer vacation, holidays, or weekends I did door to door USA Today subscription sales. Ugly ass van would pick us (about 5-10 young kids), give us sample papers, drop us off at night at the end of some block and tell us they would pick us up two or three blocks away. I recall it was 15.00 to 20.00 per subscription sold plus like 5.00 per night for time. So guess that would be less than 2.00 per hour plus commission.
If those do not count as "real jobs" and I bypass my porn on VHS rental service in highschool and jr high, I would have to say it was working at Olan Mills doing telemarketing selling photo packets. Minimum wage or commission whichever was higher. Commission rates could change by the day as it was up to higher up if they wanted or needed more bookings and when they did they would jack up the commission rates. Typically it was like 8.00 per sale though it could go as high as 22.00 per sale.
