graduated from high school in east tenn. back in 1957 and me and 5 of my buddies had summer jobs at Green giant English pea cannery in Waitsburg,Washington….all six of us piled into a 51 ford 2 door and with help of a luggage carrier,across the USA we went...didn't have Interstates back then and it took about a week to get there....
we worked 7 nights a week,12 hour shifts and they had that production line set up to work you within an inch of your life....waded around in those damn English peas all summer...that was 1957 and I ain't eat an English since then...
I didn't particularly like school but going to college was helluva lot easier than working in a factory... That is one hell of a good story. Bet it was a lot more fun at the time. Props to you.

Well Time magazine did a study on the worst jobs in America.
Last years worst job, crack horror, is now the next to last worst job.
The new worst job? Assistant crack horror.

Picked cotton during the summer, couldn't wait for school to start. And for those who aren't familiar there's a big difference between picking and pulling.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

My dad plowed with a mule but I wasn't big enough. Mule's are honery and mean and takes a grown man to handle them.

Mines pretty rough but I wouldn’t say it’s the worst. I like the folks and the money.

In high school I worked at Nissan at night in sludge and hazardous waste. I made 5.35 an hour. It was my motivation to learn something , It was also my motivation to move as soon as i graduated

Got out of the Army in 1978 was 21 with a wife and kid still in diapers. Took a job in Guymon Ok. With Swift Fresh meats in a beef packing house. It started at $7.75 an hr. And $10.15 after 90 day probationary period. In '78 I thought WOW, packing house work is very strenuous and all blood and guts. Worked there 2 years Cuz it paid the bills.

Did a stint one summer roofing and got stuck on the tar mopping crew for a couple weeks in August. Fun times.

Growing up in East Texas, hauling hay and cutting and hauling pulpwood was the worst. It made me decide for sure I was going to college.
