My first job at 12 was working on a farm (lived in the city).The old guy would pick us up at 7:00 and drop us off at 5:00,lunch furnished.He drove a new 50 chev.p/u.I can still smell the new smell it gave off.He paid us 1.50 per.day hoeing corn,suckering tobacco,hauling hay,slaughtering sheep & all the things that happen on a Tennessee farm.I lasted one summer and got me a real job.I delivered papers morning & evening and after paying the paper office my paper bill on Sat,we would head out to the movie matinee to see the Gene Autrys,&Tex Ritters of that era.I had a JC Higgins 26 in.bicycle,couldn't afford a Schwinn with the knee action front wheel.Boy those were the days.

Kids nowdays want to start at the top,and most don't have any common brain power to go with their book smarts.

IMO
