My very first real job was working for a neighbor farmer when I was a freshman in high school. My job was to ride on the back of a two-ton grain truck and dump the 5-gallon buckets of cantaloupes that the field hands lifted up to me as they picked. I was the only one in the field who could really speak English and the guy on the other side of the truck and I passed the time trying to teach each other our native languages. On occasion when the "mel�nes" weren't quite ready there was other work like loading van-box semi trucks with watermelons by hand. (Sometimes one would drop "by accident" and we would have to stop and "clean it up". They were tasty!) I think my friends probably thought I was nuts but looking back it was a good experience. I don't remember what I got paid - it probably wasn't much - but I also don't remember really caring much about that. I just remember the satisfaction of having a job and doing something productive. I was also impressed by the work ethic of the guys in the field with me. There are a lot of Americans who would rather collect "government assistance" while sitting at home watching their cable TV than to work half as hard as these guys did.
