I've been working since 1978! Ask me anything!
I delivered newspapers 6 mornings a week from the age of 10, got a cash job working in a fried chicken place at 12. Lucked into grocery store jobs at 14, and then moved onto public transit jobs at 20. Became a city bus driver at 23. Could retire as early as age 55, currently aiming for 60. Life turned out quite well!!
Ask me anything!!
