Back in the seventies I loaded trucks for North American Van Lines at fourteen.
It was hard work and a good experience.
Picked strawberries at 10 and other fruits after that. First non farm job was working for Sears in the automotive section when I was 17 in 1977. Made $2.75/hr (min. wage was $2.65) plus I got 3% sales commission. I was pulling down $230-250 a week as HS Senior working about 20-25 hours after school and on Sundays. Had every Saturday off except when there was a midnight sale. Full timers would leave at 5:30 and I would have the sales floor to my self. Man did I think I was rolling in the dough back in those days!
