Ive been wondering that too. I got my first summer job when I was 11 working behind the counter at a coffee shop (Summer's only). When I got older, I started to make more money because I was a loyal and hard working employee.
My only guess is to find a job you like and are successful at. Work hard for a long time, and see if your rates go up.
I'm now in college, and this rule has worked for me my whole life. I kind of have had problems sticking to it. Me being an INTJ makes me always want to change the rules, but I've learned not to. Good luck with you job hunt!!
