Well, you made more than I did. Good on you. In 68 I couldn’t get a decent job, was up for the draft and finally went to get that 1A crap out of the way that kept me from a decent job. Eight + years, GI Bill and Georgia Institute of Technology after that. I swore I’d never work those kinds of jobs again. Never did.

Minimum wage!! Of course Twinkies then were 10 or 12 cents a package. As minimum tripled to $4.95, Twinkies more than followed suit to 50 cents; by the time that minimum wage had gone 5x to $8.25, Twinks were now .79 (6.58x) or .99 (8.25x). Try inserting your favorite kid treat— comic books, baseball cards, popsicles— and see that the difference could be much worse.
By the way, got my first job at the same time, bagging groceries above minimum at $1.72!
