I was usually set to the task of retrieving tools that got dropped into small spaces...being the tiny one in a family of larger than average people...that's were my talent was. I was also enlisted to help spay dogs...ether is an interesting first buzz. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius  RE: What job(s) did you have as a kid?

I delivered newspapers, picked strawberries, worked in a computer store (early 1980's), breifly worked fast food, pumped gasoline, and put myself through college working as a prep cook at a Round Table Pizza, supplemented with the GI Bill.
I worked in reception and doing general dogsbody work at my Dad's clinic.
I didn't babysit, except for my little bother (not a mispell), because, even then, I didn't like kids.

Babysitting and a paper route.
Construction worker. My firs job was mixing concrete and wheelbarrow it into the construction frames, that my dad had put up. I was 11 years old.
