$3.35/hr at the Space Shuttle arcade at the front of Biltmore in Central. It was 1982.

Later that summer while at Goony Golf, Go-Carts and water slide for my cousins birthday party I saw a help wanted sign and applied. Got the job working the water slide. It paid $4.00/hr. All I did was sit in the sun and shoot kids down the water slide all day. Sometimes their hot moms would flirt with me.

I thought I had the world by the short hairs man.

$5.25 rings a bell; life-guarding and teaching lessons. It was enough to buy me enough beer to keep my belly full.
