When I was 13 or so I started a computer repair company for people in my town and local businesses. I didn't keep very good track of how much I made but I would guess it was around $2k a month. Couldn't beat the money and freedom as a kid.

Wow mind-blowing. My first earning was around 1$ when I was 10 or 12 years old. Inspiring though.

Wow. How much a total you had made? Does you still teach students or landed up in other profession?

That was just my first summer job...I taught test preparation classes at Kaplan during college and became a manager before switching careers to software engineering
