I actually shoveled elephant poop for a small family circus that stopped in my hometown when I was 14. There were other odd jobs as well but I worked for the circus for one week and made $5.00...the most money I'd every earned up to that point.

picked up golf balls at a driving range with a long handle with a small basket one at a time putting them into a bushel wire mesh basket. After loading 4-5 on a golf cart did it all over again. The next year we got a tractor and the auto ball retriever but the range was so wet I still had to pick them up by hand. Dodged the balls with no protection. This was a summer job during high school and college and I had the pleasure of working 7 days for 8 hours per day and the pay was 85.00 per week. Fun!

One of my brothers had a job as a teen working at a chicken farm. His job was to cut off the chicken's beek before it was shipped to the processing plant.

Maybe my worst job was trying to sell Kirby Vacuum Cleaners door to door.

My son "worked tobacco" when we lived in Granby in the seventies. After a couple of weeks of that he quit and worked at Guay and Kellog market (does that ring any bells ducat?). He liked that job.
