Clean up boy at a machine shop.

Hated that fricking job, but it taught me how to work.

Besides mowing lawns at 12-14?

Working as a cart boy at a golf course.

That shite was awesome. I'd get $5-20 tips for loading up clubs from members' cars and in to the cart and driving them ~200 feet to the clubhouse. My dad's friends would give me their leftover beer when they were done with their round.

Smoked a bunch of weed and played poker back in the utility shed with the other guys when things were slow in colder months. Free food from the clubhouse. Free rounds whenever I wasn't working.

Cart/bag/range guy at country club when I was 16. A few of my friends did it with me. Awesome job for a group of teenage guy friends. Worked til sundown driving golf carts around a beautiful facility, nabbing the beers left in the carts, lots of hang out time when it was slow. Play the course for free. Probably the second best time of my life, behind being a dad.

Outside staff at a country club. Pulled carts, bags, worked driving range, cleaned clubs.

Best job I ever had. Lunch and golf were free. Was outside all day.

Made great money in tips during member guest tourneys.
