I was always made to work at a very early age. I finished school at 4 P.M. and by 5 P.M. I was working. It was seven days a week.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started working when I was 9 or 10.
While in my late teens and in my 20s, I worked seven days a week, 20 hours a day. I worked my tail off.
I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
I started working myself from about 14, really, so I wasn't a burden on my family. I did a paper round and a milk round. When I was 15 or 16, I worked in a supermarket on Saturdays stacking shelves, and then every summer I temped, right through university until my working days started.
I started at the age of 8 and have been lucky to be still working.
I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.
Since my parents both worked, they hired me when I was 11 to make dinner every night. I got a quarter a day. But I was always making things like duck a l'orange and baked Alaska. I was a little bit nutty.
I usually work 16-hour days.
I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid.
When the children were very small, I worked in the morning only, and then gradually, as they spent full days at school, I could spend full days at work.
