Paid to play games
When I was about 12, I got paid to play text-based adventure games on an Apple II for hours for a psychology experiment. It turned out the whole thing was designed to see how people respond to receiving a reward (points in the game); basically, I was being compared to a chicken receiving feed for hitting a button.
I'd have done it for free, but ended up earning more than I would've for lugging newspapers around in the rain. It was an important lesson in how computers can be used to avoid hard work.
