What was your first job and what age?

[Tidgy's Dad]

The mushroom were in huge sheds, stacked in massive wooden pallets and you cut them with a mushroom knife, dusted them with the badger hair reverse of the knife and then boxed them. They were growing in cow pooh and the sheds were dark and hot.
I loved it.

Started mowing yards about 8, my dad would pick me up from school with the push mower and drop me off at my “clients” houses [emoji41] those yards paid for my 1992 Ford F-150, cherry red with a straight 6. Since then I’ve worked a variety of places, ranch hand, hospital, metal shops, I’ve spent the most of the last 10 years in ministry but now we’ve come back to Texas and joined the family business doing commercial painting and contracting. But taking care of my girls is my #1

When I got to college, I had a few jobs. I worked in food service at UCLA and was given the position of hostess, serving the football and basketball teams, and eating with them. I remember John Wooden, UCLA's famous basketball coach, and Bill Walton. Once I was in the elevator with 6 or 7 basketball players, and I really felt short!

I also worked for a company that owned several radio stations, one of which was a Mexican station. One time, they had me answer the phones for the Mexican radio station while the receptionist was out to lunch, and it was a disaster! They were reading ad copy to me in Spanish and with my limited Spanish, I had a heck of time getting it!

Then I worked for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Movie stars would sneak in the back door after hours so there wouldn't be any witnesses.
