What was your first job?

Tell us about some of your first jobs and has anyone ever worked for a place that no longer exists?
I mostly worked for some Italian bakeries starting when I was 11 years old into my mid teens. I worked for a Woolworth's I remember it had a little lunch counter which I thought was so odd but was the coolest thing ever. It's sad it no longer exists.

I started working as a farm hand for and elderly couple when I was 12 years old, $20 dollars for 8 to 12 hours a day and one hot home cooked meal for lunch that I was called into the farmhouse to eat with Marge and Stanley. I loved them and never asked for a raise my entire teen year. Stanley taught me to drive a 1963 dodge pickup with a clutch and a three-speed shift on the steering column when I was 14 years old. Stanley had me drive him into town and back in his Buick Electra when I was 15 years old and always wanted me to open her up. I loved Marge and Stanley and stopped into to see them every time I came home on leave.

The other jobs I did in summertime in high school not to interfere with football was construction laborer and lumber yard hand.
