I was a line cook for a few years. The nastiest thing I've ever done for money, not counting things I've done for @McDad, was clean out the nacho cheese machine at the pool snack bar when I was like 11. Had to use a damn hose

While working at Hardees, I was told to clean the outside restrooms. The men's was OK, but the women's. Oh man. Someone has spread feces all over the walls and put feminine "products" all over stuck to the feces. I just closed the door and walked away. The manager got a pressure washer, kicked the door open, and hosed it. This was 1976.

I was expected to take the trash out occasionally as a kid.
Then I had to mow the yard a few times. Was hard figuring out the gearing on the fancy riding mower.
IMO, my allowance wasn't enough to cover these things, but whatever.
My parents decided to cut me off in order to make me appreciate things more once I got to college.
I took out a bunch of student loans to live a proper lifestyle through college (Thanks, Biden, for helping out with those!!).
After working a few years with the fam biz, I've decided it's not for me, so instead am cashing in early on a trust fund.
Blue-collaring it definitely sucked, but I'm proud that I've worked hard and am a self-made man!!

yeah I worked a couple summer camps too. cleaning the women's restroom was the worse part. there were a couple times I couldn't convince the boys it was a trap to trade with the girls. after I couldn't convince them, I told them I would handle hauling the trash away, and not doing anything in side. I still get a laugh remembering their howls of disgust.

paper and feminine products literally covered the entire ground. it was not an enclosed or conditioned bathroom...

Blanka and Scorpion were my guys.

Graduated FHS '93.

I heard a rumor that Tool might play the Sphere next year. That would likely pop my Vegas cherry. I have never really thought that LV would be a good place for me to visit, but I bet there is a good place to eat and maybe play golf, LOL.

You are 2 years ahead of me then. I went to vegas once for a wedding. Not a family environment lol. You could definitely have fun without kids though. I don't gamble, so options were limited. TOOL just announced they are hosting a festival in the Dom.Republic in spring. Thats a better bet IMO. They are playing 2 shows in 2 or 3 days. Which means that they will play stuff they normally do not on this tour IMO.

All I got from that was
" I didnt pay back the college loans I agreed to pay as a grown man. I also cannot change a flat tire, to save my life. When this house of cards collapses, I am bulltits in every way that matters. Totally screwed."

For me-

Worked a handful of times on the family farm during summer in Middle TN.
Dad made me do a load of manual labor at the house whenever possible all growing up.

As for actual jobs, worked four-ish years (from age 14) in the kennel and in the back room of a vet clinic, and spent all of my college career working at Dominos locations around Knoxville (never doing deliveries). Nowhere near the experience of most people in my family, but I've seen enough of what they've been through to know I don't want to end up there. I think I could handle myself if I was, though.
