Looks like another starter job is going away soon. By this time next year, McDonald’s counter worker can be added to Gas station attendant, Elevator operator, Car hop, Bellboy and a host of starter jobs, mostly for high school kids that are gone, gone, gone.

My first job while in high school was an island attendant at a Sohio Gas Station. Which is also history.

Don't forget the paperboy. That used to be a great way for a youngster to get out in the fresh air and make a few dollars. When I was a kid, I'd get up at 5am and deliver about 40 copies of the Boston Herald Traveler. I made about $15 a week, not including tips, which was almost an obscene amount of money for a kid to have back in the day.

Nowadays, my Wall Street Journal is delivered by some unshaven 40-year-old driving a station wagon.
