I was 15 when I got my 1st job. working for a commercial coach building company.(building lorries basically). .50p per hour. interesting work. it involved welding riveting carpentry electrics,all sorts really. that went bust in the 80s as did quite a few companies. had several jobs since then.

Paper round age 13.
Job in a bakery age 15.
First full time job at 16 after I quit my A levels was a NVQ scheme for about £40 week in a shop. I did these until I was 18 and had the sense to go to college. In hindsight these NVQ schemes back in the 90s were a joke, cheap labour for employers who didn’t care about my training.

When I were a lad I had to start work afore I were born.  Lick the street clean for 25 hours a day and get up afore I went to bed.  Times were 'ard then.

And you tell the young people today that - they won't believe you!
