I think age 10, when I got a paper round for a small advert paper. The chap dropped them off, I rolled them up with a ribber band, and dutifully delivered them. After that, age 16, doing the dishes at a short order type restaurant.

The only job I've ever had was babysitting (started at age ten), but I don't think that really counts...
