Barkey is supposed to have worked as an ice cream scooper at a Baskin Robbins in Hawaii.
I think this was put out by the DNC in response to a question like yours prior to the election.

He did. I attended Punahou around the same time as Obama (I’m a ‘78 grad, he’s ‘79) and I remember seeing him working in that Baskin Robbins which was just a few blocks away from campus and his Grandparent’s apartment buliding. Probably the only real job he ever had.
