RE: Reminiscing about my first job ever at 8 years old

Great that you learned the value of money and the discipline keeping a job from early on. We still have news paper sellers at traffic lights, but no home deliveries like what you did. I worked the occasional drink stand at the bigger sporting events which was decent money back then.

Working a drink stand at a sporting event, especially a well-attended one, would have been a great earner I think. Were you paid on commission for these things?

No. It was a paid daily fee with free drinks and food. Plus you could see the action taking place on the field due to it being elevated above the crowd.
