A huge problem that I see these days is that nobody thinks forward to the next little move to be made when involved in a task. An entire operation can be shut down by the nonthinkers.


dang youngsters...I remember getting paid $2.15 an hour when I started in my early teens. early 1960's.

and ya'll are right about kids work ethic these days....




dang, they must have really liked you. I bagged groceries at a winn-dixie for $1.15/hr. in mid 60's. I did manage to save enough to buy my 1st car, a 1957 Pontiac Chieftan. I think it was $600. New 2 tone yellow/white paint and had a 348 v-8, about 300 hp. It was a thing of beauty, I'd love to have it today!
