“ Growing up, did your father ever make you get a job you didn’t want to do? Was it to teach you responsibility or maybe that’s how his father brought him up? My father owns an excavating company and when I wasn’t in school he made me work for him. Having two older brothers who worked for him, I always got the jobs that no one else wanted. I had to wheelbarrow concrete, mix concrete by hand to lay blocks, and everything else that involved manual labor. I thought it would be interesting to find out what kinds of jobs these guys had to do growing up. Let’s see what they had to say. "

“When I was growing up I had to work on a farm in State College , PA. I had to shovel cow manure, bail hay, and all the other redneck stuff.”

“Actually, I grew up on a dairy farm. We had to milk the cows, clean the barn, bail hay, and fix the tractors. That’s where I learned how to work on things and that’s why I’m a mechanic today.”

“When I was seventeen-years-old I waited tables for two weeks. They gave me one week of training and then I got my own tables, and I was a horrible waiter. The next week I turned expert and made more that weekend then I would’ve in five weeks as a waiter. The crazy thing is, the following weekend; I broke both of my arms.”

“When I lived in Arizona , I had this job where I had to pull weeds. I wanted to buy a motorcycle and that’s how I earned the money to pay for it. I would go to all the houses in my neighborhood and ask them if I could pull their weeds. See, out West, all they wanted you to do is pull weeds that were coming up between their rocks. You had to keep them in a pile so they could see the roots before you got paid.”

“I used to be a cheese packer when I was younger in Pennsylvania .”

“When I was eight-years-old I used to deliver newspapers with my dad for the tourists in Dublin , Ireland .”

“When I was fourteen-years-old I drove a honey-wagon for a village in Mexico . Basically, a honey-wagon pumps out septic tanks.”

“I worked in the car industry for about six years. I started in the service department and worked my way up to be a car salesman. When I got the chance to sell cars, I hated it!”
