I started working in 1976 at the age of 14 at a local county airport as a lineman. Something else happened that year, too. Care to guess what it was? It was the election of Jimmy Carter, that's what. I graduated high school in 1980,

Yeah, I worked at a gas station through high school till I graduated in 1979. I admit it was fun durning the SECOND gas crisis to get to the station early in the morning and sit outside drinking coffee and having a donut while waiting for the clock to strike 6 so we could mosey out and remove the saw horses that blocked our drive. Cars lined the block waiting for us to open and get gas. Our allotment was usually gone my noon. So we'd shut the pumps off and turn away anybody that was still in line or tell them to stay till the next day.

I got bored with that so I joined the Army to kill people. Paid a whopping $419 a month but had great benefits.

The experience was probably priceless.

My company made it though the Carter years(and more) with out laying anyone off. A year and a quarter into the the Obama Administration a considerable number of positions were completely eliminated.
