Baling hay at 13 and 14 for $30 a week, it was hard work and we thought we were getting paid well (’74 - ‘75), one summer during college I worked as a conservation assistant (commonly known as a ‘con ass’) at a MD state park, $3.05/hour picking up trash, cleaning campground bathrooms and showers, cleaning up mounds of two-day old crab feasts, people would treat that park like crap, and we were just glorified janitors...
Best job ever: Tutoring chemistry as a junior and senior in undergrad for freshman women nursing and physical therapy students...$40/week and the opportunity to meet lotsa freshman women...sigh...I miss those days...
I did that in the late 60's (I was 10 years old then) and the early 70's on my Uncle's farm. 50 cents per hour.
I would be at the farm at 5:15 am, open the Milk House and prep. At 5:30 we would start letting the cows in. Done by 8:30 AM and then join the crew out in the field to bail hay.
At 5:15 PM I would be back at the Milk House to start the milking process all over again and then home by 9:30 PM.
Like I said, 50 cents pet hour but at that age and time I was in heaven with all that cash.
