Talk about your first job.
Speaker 1: What was your first job?
Speaker 2: When I was 12 years old and 13 years old, those two summers I worked 50, 5-0, hours per week from the day school got out til the day school went back in, babysitting for three children. The parents were farmers. Directly after that, the summer I was 14 right through 16, for three years I worked at a bakery downtown, which gave me spending money but it also helped with the family because we really didn't have very much. My mom was an at-home mom. My dad didn't want her to work, and yet we struggled.
