$10/hr in 1996. Which back then i thought that was like getting paid 100k.
I worked in a horse barn and worked my arse off doing manual labor.
Looking back, even then i thought killing myself physically like that was a terrible summer job.
But at that age, that was a frick ton of money

You still would have had that motivation if you were paid a decent wage. You’re bragging about being exploited as a child like a fricking retard.
I voluntarily worked for the minimum legal wage at the time, I was free to quit at any time. I personally believe there should be no minimum wage other than for kids under 18. Let supply and demand determine what someone’s labor is worth. If an adult wants to work for $1.00 per hour that is their business not that of the federal government.

Minimum wage at $5.15 making pizzas at Pizza Hut.
The job wasn’t much fun, but I had some awesome coworkers and as long as we had dough left over at the end of the night, there was always free pizza.

1986 and 1987. Jimmy had lost everything to alcoholism and divorce. He had just gotten out of rehab and I think he was living in Will's garage. He was our production supervisor and I think he made $6 an hour to my $3.35.
The Pentecostal preachers in training practiced their sermons all afternoon to each other at volume 11. So there's all this preaching and saving and praising the Lord. And a room full of condom clad wooden dildos. And Jimmy running the show and sleeping on a cot in his brother's basement. Will was going through a divorce too. And he had just invested like $38k in a video camera. And he was trying to figure out how to make it work and hoping it wouldn't break him.
It was a surreal experience.
