I’ve held lots of jobs.
When I was little (around 5 years old), I got to clean the milk holding
tank. Mom would put me inside and give
me the scrubber and I would walk around and scrub it clean. Then it was rinsed. I think my pay was a
dime. Other jobs on the farm included,
feeding cows, cleaning out the calf pens, pulling tansy ($1 per bag), stacking
hay bales (pay was a day old calf to raise), gardening, mowing lawn, and baking.
Most of those were probably considered “chores”. I did pick strawberries for a couple of
seasons at Ticknors. I also did
babysitting jobs.
