Worked in a chemical plant summers till graduation. Good pay, but changed shifts weekly (3).
My first job was working at the stable where I took lessons. I received not a dime for mucking stalls, feeding, grooming and tacking horses, but I did get $1 an hour if I took trailriders out on the mountain! (This was in the 70s, but still . . . the pay was awful)

cashier at a small town four aisle grocery store. Loved it, but didn't like that I pretty much always had to work on the weekends. Since it was such a small store, there was one full time cashier who worked 8-4, then there were 2 of us who alternated working until closing in the afternoons and Sundays. Saturday was a given for both of us.
No scanning - everything had to be entered on the cash register by hand, and when I wasn't busy being the cashier, I was pricing food, wrapping lettuce and other produce, and straightening the store.
ETA: Got paid Minimum wage, which was $3.35/hour.

Reason: Minimum wage - for reference :)
MACY*S (18) - Full-time sales clerk for a whopping $6 an hour which was above the minimum wage at the time.
Robinsons-May (19) - Part-time sales clerk for a glorious $6.50 an hour which was still above the minimum wage.
SEARS (19) - Worked there for the Christmas season for 2 weeks for a glorious $6.75 an hour. Still above minimum wage at the time.
Teachers Aide (19-25) - Made $13.50 which was HUGE in my mind b/c I was twice the minimum wage.
Teacher (26+) - Make lots more than I did before complete with great benefits, retirement, etc but work long and hard for my 40 kinder kids.
