Haha, alright..
Farm boy. So I was born working. Seriously.
As soon as I came out of mom they shoved me in a gate to hold it open. Or stuffed me in a fence hole to keep the pigs in.
When I put on a little weight, they used me to keep valuable things from blowing away.
I was always doing work for neighbors, who actually paid me. For driving equipment or building stuff.
But the first real official job I had was Petroleum Transfer Engineer (gas station pump jockey)
I was a bit older, had to first buy a truck to get into town.
But I had moved out and was renting a small house on my own when I was 12. So I didn't spend too much time in school. Had to work odd jobs to keep a roof over my head.
