   My first ever "paid" consulting job was building a dBASE application.

   "Paid" in quotes because I was about 10 years old at the time and the work was done for my mother in her capacity as a government employee. What she could do, though, was find a surplus shrinkwrapped copy of dBASE III Plus that I was allowed to keep when I was done.
