The first job I ever had was at a pool-liner-manufacturing plant. Minimum wage was $4.25, and that's what I was making. It was this huge, hot, un-air-conditioned factory staffed with all women and me. This is in Georgia, during the summertime, so it was pretty ridiculous.

I hope to goodness I would not still be working in the corporate world - the money is OK but it is no life at all.

I thought I was going to be a bum the rest of my life.

Not being able to work would make me very unhappy.

I think if you only work, then you won't have a life. It's tough to have a life when you're working a lot.

From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.

I started getting jobs, and I thought it was going to be real easy.
