What job(s) did you have as a kid?

Handing dad the wrong size socket.

That would have earned a backhand to the mouth at our house.  I was usually set to the task of retrieving tools that got dropped into small spaces...being the tiny one in a family of larger than average people...that's were my talent was.  I was also enlisted to help spay dogs...ether is an interesting first buzz.

I delivered newspapers, picked strawberries, worked in a computer store (early 1980's), breifly worked fast food, pumped gasoline, and put myself through college working as a prep cook at a Round Table Pizza, supplemented with the GI Bill.

I worked in reception and doing general dogsbody work at my Dad's clinic.

I didn't babysit, except for my little bother (not a mispell), because, even then, I didn't like kids.

Handing dad the wrong size socket.

I decided long ago that whenever I purchase a socket set, I will immediately throw away the 10mm. Why? Because that’s the one I always lose anyway and it saves me time looking for it.

Babysitting and a paper route.

Construction worker. My firs job was mixing concrete and wheelbarrow it into the construction frames, that my dad had put up. I was 11 years old.
