I had a few but my longest gig during high school was working at Ethan Allen. Cushiest job ever. Went around changing out light bulbs and emptied waste baskets. Would sometimes help people load stuff into their vehicles. After about 15 minutes of actual work, I did whatever homework I had and cleaned my golf clubs and practiced on my swing.

Started mowing yards, and raking leaves, in sixth grade. First paychecks came from stuffing inserts into newspaper in junior high. Pumped gas, fixed tractor and semi flats, and did line jobs at a full service has Gulf station in high school.

When I was 16 I got hired by my school district on the mowing crew for the summer. I was the low man so I ran a weedeater and the push mower for 8 hours a day.
I didn't care though, as I was clearing a little more than $600 a month and I thought that was big money back in 1991. I only for to do it that one summer because their regular summer helper broke his leg.
