At 10 years old, I was a ball boy for the golf pro while he gave golf lessons. I made 50 cents for a 30 minute lesson.

At 15, I caddied for the lady pro, Mickey Wright, who won the tournament by 7 strokes. She won $2,300 and paid me $200 for 4 rounds, including a practice round. Most of the other caddies only made $50.

As a kid I shoveled snow, raked leaves, and mowed lawns for about half of the homes on our dead end street. I delivered newspapers for a little while, but that job really sucked. I also spent a couple summers as a youth picking tobacco, cucumbers, and squash for the local farmers. I also worked as a busboy, dishwasher, and then a cook at various restaurants. I can remember $1.50 per hour, but got paid better by my neighbors for doing yard work, especially when I shoveled deep, heavy, wet snow. I remember my first real job out of grad school in the early 80’s paid a salary of $38,000 and I thought I was immediately rich.

As my grandson would say, very cool!

Paperboy salary was about $12 a week. It was righteous money too. I remember having to pick the paper up before daybreak on the corner, doing my own collecting of a whole 1.10 per house and suffering through Thursday and Sunday paper stuffing. To beat all, sometimes customers wouldn’t come to the door and would try and stiff me.

[Two Bills]

All in UK.

1952-56. Paperboy. 15 shillings ($2.10 app.) a week.
Late three mornings (6am start) or fail to turn up, you were sacked.
The waiting list was a mile long.

1956 joined Army aged 16. £1-10 shillings ($4.20 app) a week.
I put more a fill up in my gas tank nowadays, than I earned in a year then.

"The good old days!"
