I had my first job, a paper run when I was 10, I had to pretend to be a boy
as there was no such thing as a papergirl back then.
I want to be independant and had figured out that if I had my own money
my parents could not stop me doing what I wanted to do..hhmmm
For fundraising for extra curricular activities I would organise a group of my friends and we would wash cars in the local service stations on a Sat Morning, our parents were impressed, less $$ they had to cough up
I had a part time Job Friday Nite / Saturday Morning Job at Coles by the time I turned 12 ( I had to be a little creative about my age of course )
I used to trade stamps, and lease the use of my bike, guitar, horse, homework or clothes. Gee I miss those days.. *sigh*
