Garage
Did lots in my youth until after college. Then worked at the company that just laid me off on my 40th anniversary.

Youthful endevors.
Mowing (got a van and mowed 45 yards once a week, also the company went to after college, and 7 area Long John Silvers)
Car Waxing (usually Saturdays, one or two cars a Saturday)
Electronics Assembly (part time for 2 different companies)
Gardening (took care of dads large lawn, garden, fruit trees, and had a large Okra patch, even sold fresh Okra to local grocery store. Looked like hazmat in my protective getup to keep from getting itchy picking okra)
Did some art, drawings and paintings, but my Mom would not let me sell them despite people wanting to buy. $100 to $500.
Oh yeah and did some custom high end stereo installs. In homes, restaurants and a Bank.
And helped my Dad do electrical wiring like ceiling fans, room add ons etc, and wired a new vetrinary hospital for large animals.

Friends of my Dad tole me I was going to be a millionare by the time I turned 20. However, after cars and dating/concerts all that work just paid for college. At least I didn't have to get a student loan.
