    Only thing I did before college was babysitting, and selling hand-made potholders door to door... didn't need to report to SS...

    I can't recall how many jobs I had from when I started at 13 to 18.
    (My mother was a widow and every penny was important for the financial
    pool).
    I mowed lawns, passed papers, sold Christmas cards door-to-door, did
    "stock replenishment" in drug stores, hospital orderly, and a few others
    I've forgotten.
    The few door-to-door jobs I remember were the Christmas cards, encyclopedia's, and some other book or book services. I even sold (or
    tried to) vacuums cleaners. :)

    We were a little better off... but to get any sort of pocket money we
    had to be inventive....

    Quite the resume... :)
