Fast forward to when I turned 13. At that time you didn't get your SSN until you actually started working so my Dad towed me to the SS office to get my SSN. Then I worked for him at the Pepsi plant where he was plant manager and Vice President cutting and maintaining the plants grounds in the summer. Paid me a whopping $2.50 an hour. This was in 1976.
$2.50 was pretty good in 76. I was a busboy at a restaurant/bar and made less than that.
