  Multiple various jobs during high school and college

    • 1976 - 1987

    Worked hard throughout elementary school, high school and college to buy my own first vehicle and afford college. There are very few jobs I did NOT do, hustling to make a buck. Primary jobs included farm hand (many and varied tasks, including hand stacking hay bails and hand moving irrigation lines), construction laborer, berry picker (and many other crops), yard worker, auto parts store clerk, kitchen pot scrubber, pizza maker, and shoe salesman. When I was not working for someone, I would walk country roads and find cans and bottles for refund money and find golf balls to wash and sell at golf courses.
