I started at 14 picking strawberries at a u-pick farm, right next to the migrant workers. The Vietnamese worked circles around me.

I had that job all through high school and college, from stoop labor to assistant farm manager. In fact during the amnesty of 1986 I had between 20 and 60 migrant workers through out the harvest. I only had 2 that that were illegal. We had immigration officials pay us a visit a couple times a month.

That job bought a moped, a '68 Camaro, payed for half my flying lessons and offset a great deal of college expenses.

There are more and more days I simply miss that job.
