I had a couple;
1) When I was a kid (8 years age) I received a dime a week for picking up dog poo. Frankly the job stunk and the pay sucked. Since we lived close to a golf course that was surrounded by fields we (a buddy and I) found a lot of golf balls hit over the fence which we sold to golfers in the parking lot. Mostly we got a quarter to a half each, a dime was for one in pretty bad shape and I could make a couple of dollars a week doing this. A job that was fun and paid well.
2) When I was 10 I built a crystal radio out of junk in the basement and tuned AM stations with it. Music from junk. That was almost magic.
Which led to a degree in Electrical Engineering and jobs on the sales side in the automation industry. Which has served me well my whole career and now keeps me in wagyu beef and other savory things in my retirement -
