During high school I had three short lived jobs after school. One was delivering meat for a butcher shop, I was also a soda jerk at a candy store. ( that I enjoyed) The third was selling fruit and veggies at a local super market.

Jobs I had during the summer.

I sold ice cream and orange drinks at Manhattan beach in Brooklyn NY.
I lugged the first year had a cart for two years. Enjoyed having my cart parked in front of the ladies lockers!

Then by the time I was a senior in high school, my dad got me a summer job in the NY garment industry. I was an ILGWU member (You may remember the jingle, "..look for the union label...." not sure if the ad played nationally) I packed boxes of women's clothes that were shipped to stores all over the country.
