I'm 45, started waiting tables at the local restaurant at 13. It was a big to do cause we had to go down town and I had to get a special permit.
But all kinds of kids did stuff working. Some worked on farms, some mowed lawns, some delivered papers, I spent a summer waiting tables and cleaning houses to save for a school trip.

I worked on the family farm for years, and then at 15 I asked for a job at the local Chinese restaurant. To my surprise they hired me and paid more than I got hourly for another 25 years.
