I was 15 and went to work at a mom and pop grocery store about a mile from our house. It was on a road that was the dividing line between the black part of town and white part. This was 1987 and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Too bad times aren't that way any more.
I made a whopping 3.35 per hour.

High school summers included square hay bales for 5¢ a bale from field to barn. $40 bucks a day the hard way.
