Message: [QUOTE="87Xfer, post: 5311612, member: 10566"] Starting when I was 12 or 13 we got 2 weeks off from school each fall to pick potatoes for something like 35 cents a barrel. This was in "The County" in northern Maine. After a couple years picking, I got "promoted" to working on one of the trucks using a crane to lift barrels onto the flatbed. In high school, first real job was a drafting job for a small engineering firm in West Hartford Center. Then spent an entire hot, grueling summer working for an architect, measuring and drawing every inch of the inside of the Goodwin Building in Hartford. Never forget how hot and dusty that job was.
