In 5th grade (mid 70's in Casa Grande, Arizona) my shop teacher, whose wife was a championship caliber shooter, would come and pick me up on Thursday evenings and take me to the range, where they would shoot trap. I was the trap boy. A group shot for about 2-2.5 hours. They all pitched in several dollars each. I usually ended up with about 15-20 bucks for the night. We lived within easy walking distance to the local mall with the movie theatre so it never sat in my pocket long. I was living high on the hog back then. First everyday job was when I was 16 at our local YMCA manning the front desk after school until about 9PM. Did that until baseball season rolled around every year through high school. They got a guy that played football to do it in late winter, spring and summer. It worked out great for both of us.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Started the summer I turned 15 working as a laborer for a block mason building apartment complexes. It didnt take much of that to know I never wanted to do that again.

When I was old enough to walk. My parents had a family business and all 3 kids started helping with it when we were old enough to walk and help do things. We continued there until we were out of high school. Best thing that ever happened to me cause I never had a problem getting a job in later life.

I've held a job since the age of 14. I started out on a sod farm and mowing yards. Had a job ever since.

Started working for my dads company during the summers when I was 14. Then I got a job at Western my junior year of high school, and made it up to Frozen Food manager when I started college after my senior year of high school. Was offered an assistant manager position at the store, but left to work for my dad and our family business after my two years at Jeff State. I am extremely fortunate to have a Fiance that works just as hard if not harder than I do.

Started at the county club at 15 til I graduated high school. At Alabama I managed the farmers market, worked at a consignment shop, and tended bar at night.

Took 5.5 years to graduate but wouldn't trade it for the world.

I mowed lawns and unloaded 18 wheelers until I was 16 and got a job in a steak house. Worked 40 hours a week pretty much until I graduated high school.

I'm 54.

I stacked hay when I was 14 and 15. Used to drive my grandpas truck back and forth... My parents would have killed me and him if they knew I was driving then. Then started at the meat department at star market when I was 16.... Didn't like taxes getting taken out so I went back to farming so I could get payed in cash. Started college and so on, 27

grass cutting in the neighborhood until I was 16.
Drove 45 minutes south to St. Elmo, AL to work on a potato farm.
Averaged 14+ hours a day. Unclogged the harvester and would then work the grading belts. Worked until the crop was in and then they kept me around the farm the rest of the summer.

Picked cotton as far back as I can remember but that as because mother was picking and we went along. First regular paying job was about 13 or 14 working in chicken houses with bucket feeders. Paid a whopping dollar an hour. Mowed yards from about 13 on as well for anywhere from 2.50 to 5 dollars a yard. Me and my brother did that together. None close to our house in the country so Dad would take us from yard to yard with the mower in the trunk or on the back of his pickup.

This. And my GrandDad never paid me a dime. But driving a tractor back then was considered fun, not work.
