My first job:

My first work experience was in Northern California working in a sun-dried apricot farm. My job was to cut the apricot in half, take out the seed, then lay the apricot center up on a 4 x 7 board. You would do this until you filled up the board with apricots then you yelled, "board" and they would bring you another one which would get stacked on top of the previous one. You then continued filling that one up.

I got paid for $2.75 for each board I filled up. I was 13 years old. wtf?!?
