Re: when did you get your first job
That was me too man, working on the farm. There is always work to be done. I would come home from school sometimes and try to take off on my 4 wheeler before getting put to work..lol. There was no sleeping in, and no avoiding work for the most part. We had cattle, goats, sheep, and raised about 5 acres of tobacco. If I wasn't working in the tobacco I was going to get hay and loading it in the barn, or fixing fence, feeding the animals, cleaning up the barn, or bush-hogging the fields. I will say this though, I was paid for working in the tobacco and hay. My grandfather and uncles always treated me the same as any other hired hand. An honest day's pay for an honest day of work is what my grandfather always said. The other work was expected without pay however, but the tobacco kept money in my pocket for loafing.
