Baby sat in early teens. Worked at McDonalds part time while in high school (had to hitch hike back and forth to work) . Waited tables in a restaurant. Bar maid. Got a job in a factory, went to college nights.
Rose up the latter to production assistant. Rose again to supervisor. Rose again to engineering technician. Married, bought house, had kids, home schooled, sent two to college so far (1 just finished and got first job). Still cleaning up after them!
NOTHING was free.

Yeah, Baby sitter is right up there with Newspaper delivery boy on his bike I guess. I did both of those too. In fact, I liked to babysit next door because it was usually on Friday nights and we are Seventh day Adventists and couldn’t watch TV on Friday Night (Sabbath) so it was the only time I got to watch Love American Style and the Brady Bunch since my parents couldn’t see that far.........
