Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?
Working on the farm. Baling hay, pitchin' s*it, painting buildings, walking beans, cutting thistles, doing chores. Most was or free but that's what you do when you live on a farm. Detasseling corn paid $20 an acre. An acre back then was around 20,000 plants. My first real job was at the Phillips 66 station working Saturday's and Sundays. Just a few dollars an hour. Pumping gas, changing tires and changing oil.
