Getting A Tech Job During High School?

EricHeinz asks: "Over the past few years I've been hearing about how successful everyone in the booming technology industry is. I even hear about many people getting jobs right out of or during high school. I'm fairly skilled in the ways of both Web design and programming, and I know that many companies are looking for techies. So before going job hunting for the summer, I wanted to know if anybody at Slashdot had experience working for companies during their younger years, and how they dealt with companies with difficulties hiring younger employees?"
