The only job I ever had that paid min. wage was my very first one at a local restaurant, which was the only place in town that hired 15 yr. olds. I forget what the legal exemption was, but I was able to get working papers at that time. The previous summer I made the same money, but it was under the table for a contractor who was doing an all-summer project on a neighbor's house. After that first resjob, I never made less than double min. wage at a summer job.
