Ever thought back to the lessons in life that you learned
from your first job? For me it was long
ago, when I was in the Cub Scouts then the Boy Scouts we did a lot of
volunteering at various places including the nursing home that was a block from
my house. That is where I landed my
first real job as a maintenance guy. I was
rolling in the money making a decent wage of $4.25 an hour when all my friends
were at minimum which was $3.35 an hour.
My have things changed. You could
almost add those two numbers together to reach minimum. I think at that first job I learned how to
work, I mean get my hands dirty and do the jobs I didn’t want to do. I did learn that doing that wasn’t something I
wanted to do for the rest of my life. I do
look fondly back at the memories, and experiences that I picked up at that gig
and I am sure I use them to this day. I
was taught to give it my all, to think, and to get along with co-workers. I am sure there were other lessons learned as
well.
