What Jobs Have You Done For Money ??? List a few!

My first job out of high school in 1964..

I got paid $1.25 an hour to clean dog feces and urine for a dog kennel. Second job was one night as the desk clerk at Kuhillo Palms Motel in Honolulu. I was fired for renting a room to a prostitute and her client. Hell,I did'nt even know what sex was at that age.
 

My first money making venture was digging coins out from under the washers and dryers with a metal clothes hanger at the local laundromat. The guy that owned it let me dig them out as long as I swept the floor for him when I was done (I always got a can of pop and a candy bar too :thumbsup:) My Mom loved it, it kept me from bugging her while she did the wash. I started doing this when I was probably 5 or 6 years old. I guess I've been digging for coins a lot longer then I thought, lol.

Are you still playing? I've been winning a few bucks in freerolls but no bankroll to speak of yet. I'll get there eventually...

I kick myself in the butt for not listening to my Pop & staying in school............I could have made him proud & been a gynacologist! (a lil' joke between father & son) I used to tell him "Pop, with my luck Ida ended up a damn proctologist!" :o

Without all that experience there would be no Mighty AP Diggers...plus if you became a gynacologist with the kind of tools you create there would have been lots of law suits. lol
