everyone needs money to spend. even a one year old baby understands the value of money and therefore he can very-well recognizes the difference between currency and ordinary paper. school going children are paid for their pocket money. unfortunately if a person for his childhood does not have source to get money after curtain age he starts to earn . i started earning by teaching kids when i was just 15 years old. if you have such experience then plz share.

I had a classmate that she had a little sister or brother, I saw she was packing her little bro of sis milk powder in small packs wrap in papers and was selling that to other students . that remark in my mind because I love milk power and she used to give them free cost to me as I was A grade student and she wanted to be my friend.
but my first earning was in high school, I did business of selling sun glasses to my classmate and I sold them with 3pl rate of what I got them.

you know to earn money so early...i grow up in a countryside and i knew to earn money when i was 23, after graduation from university.
to be honest, i don't have a talent to earn money, i am good in study only...hix hix..that's why i am still poor now..

Hi friend, you are great. You have start to earn since you are 15 years old. I start to earn when I reach 21 years old by teaching kids too( maybe it is too late). This condition because of in my region is difficult to get money, so teenager cannot get job to earn, because there are many adult that need the jobs. Although, I late to earn but it still better, because there are many people that difficult to get job. Have a nice day.

Hi there chouksey! =) I am not allowed by my mom to have a job while studying. But we did have a business and my parents have asked us to help in the factory since we were kids,i think i was about 8years old then and we would help around, and my mom even thought me how to operate machines and i even got a little accident almost lost a nail in one of my fingers. hehe it was not exactly an earning but eeach time there would be deliveries we are given amount to be used when we go out...
Officially i started to earn at 20years old and my first salary was 1/3 of what i was getting now, 8 years after. :D he he That is when i graduated from school and found myself a job and worked for a BPO company.

Yes u are absolutely right, every individual in today's age wants to earn and become self independent. In fact children from well to do families do not have to think much about pocket money while some have to toil hard even in their childhood days and help their families to earn. I m glad that u have earned from such a young age. I started earning only when i joined this site some months back.
