beanman Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Detasseling corn. Probably around age of 13. 4 bucks an hour I think it was. Fun job. No way, you detasseled too?? Yup, summer of 93 I think it was when it was flooding all up in this bitch. Remember that little douchebag from Blair that always popped off to people? Quote Link to comment

Yup, summer of 93 I think it was when it was flooding all up in this bitch. Remember that little douchebag from Blair that always popped off to people? Vaguely. I mainly remember one specific field of corn, where the corn was 7 feet tall and we were all short little 13 year olds trying to reach. I hated that job. Quote Link to comment

But I hated that little smart ass. I think they all called him Pinky because he wore a pink hat. I vaguely remember him getting into a fight or wrestling match once out in the field. Other than the mudholes in 93 I rather enjoyed that job. Quote Link to comment

killer cacti Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 First paying job - 17 years old - Driving a tractor back & forth to peach fields. 6am til we got finished usually 60-80 hours per week, no overtime pay, $6.50 per hour. Pretty good cash for a high school summer job because we got about a $300 check every week after taxes, but it sucked. Quote Link to comment

Oh well if we are counting on our own farm jobs... I don't remember my first. Probably something to do with cleaning hog barns as well. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I was a busboy at an Omaha restaurant. I was 15 and think I made $5.25 an hour. That pay was well above minimum wage back then (early 90s). They worked me way too many hours and way too late at night for a 15 year old. After about 6 months there, I quit. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Paper route at age 11. Omaha Weird Herald. I don't come from a naturally strong family, lugging around the Sunday edition is where my strength derives from. Just kidding, I come from a naturally strong family. 1 Quote Link to comment
