[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2726637, member: 12852"] I did summer jobs starting at age 16 working in the Mary Kay manufacturing plant. My dad was in IT there so they had a program for kids of employees to work summer jobs and I got rolled up into that. Paid around $10/hr IIRC. For my first job during the school year I was a trapper at a skeet shooting range in Gladewater, TX around age 17-18. I dated a girl briefly who's parents owned the place. When her mom asked me at dinner if I wanted a job I couldn't say no and expect to retain any respect from them. I had to say yes. Ended up loving it. Worked with a few bumpkins trapping for oil hot shots in the area who wanted to come shoot. I think we were paid $10/hr there too, but the tips is how we really made our money. Guys would cruise in pulling their high speed, NWLA'd out ATVs and pull out a dozen shotguns to use for a 10 station course. It wasn't uncommon for a group of 4 of them to come and tip $50 each. When we weren't trapping we were clearing brush on the other side of the creek setting up a 2nd course. I grew up playing in the woods every day after school. This job paid me to play in the woods. It was awesome. [/QUOTE]
