I worked for a Florist (developed quite a desensitization to dead people from this job, since I primarily delivered to funeral homes), mowed lawns, then Papa Johns and Gateway Country.

I worked briefly at McDonalds when I was young, but I was promptly fired when my skin cleared up. ;)

McDonalds and then a movie theater. You were supposed to be 18 to be a cashier, and I had just turned 17, but they hired me because of my prior experience :)

Delivered papers until I was 16, then I got a job doing computer-related stuff at a local small business.

If you have a complaint at McDonalds and want to speak to the Manager, there is a good chance they have to get his parents to drive him over so he can speak to you.

Atmospheric physics research department, working on simulations of the propogation of Alfven (magnetohydrodynamic) waves through the magnetospheres of earth and the jovian planets.
Engineering firm; set the company up with computers (previously, everything had been done with printing calculators) and created simulation and optimization systems for large-scale communication systems.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; built parts for their linear accelerator to improve the resolution of neutron time-of-flight measurements and improved the software used to analyze those measurements.

That's quite an accomplishment at a young age. My accomplishments at that age were learning how to masturbate with the other hand. You win!
