$5 (cash) mowing lawns for a landscaping company in Houston. It was the summer of ‘89. Came back to school with $3k for a car after smoking weed, shopping and drinking 40’s all summer long.

I first worked as a paper boy, so couldn't say what hourly rate, but a few years later at 16, worked at a fast food fried chicken joint that no longer exists- $1.45 an hour! Spent all my earnings on a couple of albums...I believe the albums were The Band- Rock of Ages and Cactus-

I got fired from my first job at Winn Dixie too. Only time I've ever been fired in my life.
It was basically all HS kids other than the managers. Most were from Central but we had a number of Zachary & Redemptorist girls as well. Me and one of the cashiers I was fooling around with got into the liquor after closing one night. Got caught
