First job you had...What was it/Age/Pay

[teachercd]

I worked at a Jewel...which is just a big grocery store.

I was a kid that bagged your stuff. Sometimes I got carts in the parking lot.

 

Because of my age I could not work more than 3 hours per day during the week and 4 hours on the weekends.

 

I think that I started off at 4.50 an hour...maybe 4.75

Detasseling for a local seed corn company when I was 13 or 14. Awful job. Don't remember how much it paid. Probably $5 something an hour, I think that was minimum wage at that time.

Worked full time during the summers for a neighboring dairy farmer. Mostly put up hay but did just about everything else as well including cultivating, spraying, hauling sh!t, etc.

 

$7 per hour at age 12. My city friends never understood how I had so much money.

 

 

 

Edit: I should probably add that I was driving a smoking, croaking, 4 speed diesel F250 with a red vinyl interior to work each day. Hopefully my future kids have the opportunity to grow up on a farm, too. Haha.
