Hauling hay - generally 2cents a bale or $1 an hour 1963-65. Some jobs at 2 cents a bale I could make $20 in a day which was huge money back then. I could take a date to a movie with popcorn a drinks and gas at 20 cents a gallon all for less than $5. First real job upon college graduation, head basketball, assistant football, head track coach, PE teacher $5,900 / yr.
