At 18 I was in my preuniversity years and therefore I was not working. However I gave tuition just to pay for my school fees. The amount I earned was too meagre to mention.

That would have been 1981, and I was going to community college and living at home. I worked in a small bookstore that somehow got away with paying under minimum wage. It was under 3.00 and hour and part-time.

Can't remember, Zack ... but not muchLOL!
It's a long time ago. I was living in Perth, WA. I think I had 2 jobs while I was 18: one was collecting the cash and cleaning vending machines - mainly pinball and juke boxes in those days. But the main job was working as a junior clerk for WA Government railways: I quite enjoyed that job. Pity they had to toss me out for missing too many work days!! Just when, as They said, I was setting new records for discovering inaccuracies in the rail charges.
Oh ... the ironies of life!
by AbsolutValu on June 11th, 2009
I was making $20 an hour tutoring, for about 6-8 hours a week, plus about $10 being a waiter on the weekends for about 20 hours a week.
Hard to believe I gave it all up to go to college.

I wasn't really earning any in a job. But I was making things, jewelry and clothing for others and selling them. I did this all through high school and I had made about $4,000 back in the early 70s, a lot of money back then, and all in my spare time and actually in class.
