What did do as a kid to earn money ?

My youth was spent as a military brat so the opportunities were few & far between.... 67-68 Dad was in Vietnam, we were on a base in Central Kansas.... My brother & I would walk all over the base gathering soda bottles... Five cents apiece, movie tickets were forty five cents for kids at the base theater... Another quarter & you could have a drink...

68-69 Dad was home & transferred to Atwater California... Mowing lawns with an old reel type push mower & helping a neighbor fold & stuff papers for his paper route... About all I could find..

69-71 Madrid Spain.... Lived in a small town not on base.. Anything resembling work was done by locals... No work for young American boys....

71-73 Adana Turkey.... Lived on base... Again not much for a teenager to do... I did have a little gig going with fixing bicycles for lots of other kids.. Patching tires, adjusting derailleurs & brake calipers...

73-74 Las Vegas Nv... Again lived on base... Mowed lawns, more like sand with crabgrass.. Had a small paper route.. Fixed allot of dirt bikes, rarely got paid but got some seat time which was okay with me since my folks wouldn't hear of me buying one... I had the money & found plenty of broken bikes I could have picked up cheap... Fix it, ride it some & flip it... Nope!! You'll kill yourself!! Good thing they didn't know how often I was out in the desert hauling *** on friends bikes...
