What age did you first start doing something “career-ish”?

At what age did you really start, whether that meant full time job, freelancing, building, exploring, experimenting, or just helping someone with a skill?

For me, it was age 16. I landed an internship as a social media handler and content writer for a small Aussie e-commerce shop. Nothing too fancy, but it taught me how real work works. Since then, I've been exploring everything

I’ve seen people start at 12 coding games, others at 25 making bold pivots. There’s no right timeline, just a lot of interesting journeys.

How about you? What was your first “real” thing?
