Teaches everything you need to know about hard work.

As a child I baled hay for .02 a bale.

Made 26 bucks in three days. Age 14

There ya go. I did farm work on my cousins farm also. It felt good, grown up to be working. I think a bucket of cherries as 50 cents, bucket of apricots was a quarter, Dried trays a buck. The irrigation and the rest was a great farm lunch.

Two summers I worked at a Tannery when they had training for students to learn maintenance , carpentry, welding, all the cool skills.

I enjoyed having my own real bank account, saving, learning and the old guys telling me if I stick with it they have a friend who will hire me.
