I started at around 10 at my dads shop. I didn't do a lot at first but gradually throughout the summers worked on the crews. He had an a\c business in abilene and started sweeping floors, working sales and cash register (w/supervision ). Then I was on service calls and rebuilding older models. We sold and serviced evaporative a\c and business was good in the 80s and 90s.When I was was 12 my dad asked me after last day of school what my summer plans were. I said a bunch of hanging out at the public pool and chasing girls. He laughed and made me work on the fill-in concrete crew of his all summer. Having a nice chunk in a bank account when I got back to school made me excited for the next summer of work.
