Started at the ol' Dairy Queen at 15, worked on my family's pear orchard before that from the time I was about 7-8, and even though it wasn't steady or 8-hour shifts or anything, it sure felt like a real job. Taught me some hard work as well.

I guess my first real job when I started supporting myself was in college at an archaeological museum/research center, I was 23ish. I'm only now, at age 31, however, feeling like I have any sort of real career, and I've been doing it for four years now.
