Paper route until I reached 16 then worked in many jobs until I graduated from college.

Clerk in drug store, gas stations (pumping gas and changing tires . . . Atlantic and Sears), Catering services (one hot food company and one sandwich company), tennis shop stringing rackets, proctor for state job exams, shipping clerk in a mill, lathe operator for a plastic company. Most of the time I was working two jobs and putting in about 32-40 hours a week besides going to school full time. Looking back on it I really don't know how I did it but I had to if I was going to go to school as my family needed the money.
