    I was the neighborhood kid that shoveled driveways. We were the first house on a long cul-de-sac so I had a monopoly by 14. It was great.
    First w-2 job was a dock boy 15, driving people to and from their boats. Started. Size business washing/waxing boats, cleaning the bottoms. Did that, taught sailing, word as a lift operator at a ski mountain during college and other jobs similar in nature.

    I never had as much fun since that job while on the clock...I was 15 and working with a bunch of 40 year olds who where trying to corrupt me anyway possible. Smoked my first cigarette and joint there, drank my first beer there, first time getting laid due to the Bulgarian ladies who would summer on Cape Cod and worked at the attached restaurant; all around a god damn blast.

    We used to sharpen the knifes to dangerous levels and throw whole cod fish at each other, trying to slice them in half while in mid air.

    My freshman year of high school I worked for a cousin who surveyed he paid me 10$ an hour. It was hard work but stayed in the woods found some good hunting spots. Then did the summertime help in factory since I had football practice late in the evening during the summer. Learned real quick money at free especially in a big factory learned real quick I didn't wanna do that so went to college. Guess where I ended up? In a factory lol but I run a crane and a press that makes corrolla parts, to bad it aint tacoma's
