What did do as a kid to earn money ?

Picking strawberries in the northwest was not far off.
They are the first ripe fruit here.
Early June as soon as school was out.
Cold wet bus would pick you up at 5 am.
It was like slave labor for not much wages.
But I think all those experiences were good.
You learn that living means working and it is not always fun, easy , or much reward.
Yet at the end of the day you know you earned your way and you can rest well at night knowing this.
