You've had a lot of different kinds of jobs! Isn't it strange to think back to the times before inflation was so horrible and how much a dollar could buy? I think I made under $5 an hour when I started working my first real job out of high school (1989) and never felt that money was particularly tight.
I found this clip and thought of you the other day. Have you heard of this author?
I had not heard of him but now Carl Hiaasen is my idol. I understand everything he is saying about Florida.
Yes, I have worked many jobs, I did whatever had to be done to support my family. Let me see if I can remember all of them, working for my Dad, Emerson factory work, dry cleaners, babysitting 9 kids, worked in the orange groves, waitress, cleaning houses and businesses, and commercial fishing, I think that is all of them.
