killer cacti Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 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. Are you complaining about driving around? Ha. Nah. That wasn't so bad. It was more the SC June/July/August weather which consists of 95-100º heat with 70%+ humidity, plus working 6am to at least 7pm and sometimes later. Worst part of it was by the time you got off, just wanted to go home, eat, shower, sleep & do it all the next day. Had no social life at all, but the plus side was I never went anywhere to spend money, so I had a good bit in the bank. Edit: I last worked there 10 years ago, just a year or two ago got the want to eat a peach again. Be around enough rotting peaches and it will do you in for a while. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Worked for an old farmer named Tuffy Thompson...Started when I was 14 at $8/hr and worked for him through high school. He was a one of a kind guy. Told me he used to grow Muckets. I asked him what that was and he said it was a plant that they use to make hair peices for bald pu%%sies. Quote Link to comment

SandhillshuskerW Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I grew up on a ranch in western Nebraska so I was working basically my whole life. I think I started getting paid around the age of 8 or 9 to work out in the hayfield. I think they paid me about $25 or $30 a day which was quite a bit for someone like me that lived 75 miles away from the closest store that I could actually spend money at. Quote Link to comment

SCode Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 First actual paying,taxes out job: flipping burgers, 15, minimum wage ($3something), hated it. Second actual paying, taxes out job: maintenance crew for State Park, 16, minimum, LOVED IT! At this job, I learned that a 1957 Ford dump truck will lift the front tires about 2 feet off the ground if you dump the clutch with the hoist fully raised. Good times. Quote Link to comment
