In the summers, babysitting, pet sitting, and "grandma-sitting". I was a summer swim instructor at the Y, and a camp counselor at a large Girl Scout camp. Worked the night shift in a donut shop, making the donuts till dawn. Was a waitress at restaurants for bus loads of tourists coming to see Niagara Falls.

During college, worked as an engineering aide in an aeronautical lab and a nuclear fuel rod designer company. Taught middle school music for a year before finally deciding to go into computers full time. Played music professionally part time for 25 years. Wish I could have made a good living doing just that, but it all worked out!
