Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

The start of my Junior year in high school, in 1973, I went to work for Ingles Supermarkets for $1.65 an hour. worked there until June of 1978 and was making $3.85 an hour when I quit and went to work for Carolina Power & Light in the line crew. My starting pay at the power company was a dollar more an hour and I absolutely loved it. I thought I was King Kong with bloomers on getting that much of a raise, and having so much fun to boot! :)
