Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

First job in 1976 was washing dishes in a restaurant making $2.30/hr. In 1979, I started pumping gas and helping the owner on repairs. He paid me in cash, $5/hr.

Stayed there after school until I graduated from high school and Vo-tech (machine shop) in 1981. Started work at Landis Tool Company as a turret lathe operator at a whooping $8/hr. That was Huge money for then.
