What did do as a kid to earn money ?

I helped my dad in his repair shop. (which I regret not taking it over). My brother and I helped our dad install water lines, the ditches had to be 36" deep which dad had a machine that did the digging. We took turns punching the holes through the basement wall with a hand held concrete bit and a 3# hammer. I've picked up bottles, aluminum cans, aluminum doors and lawn chairs, the doors and chairs brought the best money because they were not made from recycled aluminum back then. I would strip the chairs to the bare frame as that made them worth more money since they were considered clean by the recycling place. I had a paper route for a very short time because the clown that we worked for always tried to pay me with a hamburger and a soda.
