Working at UPS after I got home from studying abroad. Had two months to kill so got a job as a truck loader for the holiday season. It was like playing tetris for 8 hours everyday with heavy shite. Declined their offer to stay at the end of the holiday season

was the pay good?
From a business my uncle owned? Hell no. It was decent for my age, but he went out of his way to make an example of me. He told me point blank I was worth double what he was paying me but he didn't want me to feel too entitled.
Moral of the story, working for family is not the best circumstance.

Pallet repair. That last pallet in the stack of 20 was a sumbitch to get up there.
I did pallet building and repair as well kinda part time for years.
Dad owned the pallet mill so it wasn't so much a job as more of a chore especially since he didn't pay me.

Worked in a cotton field when I was 15 to make some bucks over the summer. I lasted one weekend. 14 hour work days and no shade under South Texas heat was the worst.

All were high school summer jobs.
1. Roofing houses for a home builder, climbed ladder up two story houses with shingle bundles on shoulder, company was to cheap to buy a lift.
2. Picking up baled hay and stacking it in barns, typically 900-1000 bales a day with a 4 guy crew, a day being when the sun rose till the sun set, was paid by the bale.
2. Cleared fence rows on a farm with a sling blade, the fence lines seemed so long it was like they extended beyond the horizon, and you would never get to the end.

Unloading and loading UPS 40 foot trailers.
The standard for unloading was one man on one jam-packed 40 foot trailer. Read the label of every package to make sure of proper routing. Unload the entire trailer alone in 60 minutes. Do three and a part of a fourth before quitting time.
Trailer were parked against a loading dock of a UPS hub with no AC. Those trailers got mighty hot sitting outside all summer day.
Most people would quit before their first 4 hour shift was complete.
