I started doing farm work when I was 9 after school and during the summers in WNC and it motivated me to do anything I could to no have to do that shit work as an adult. Not much else to do other than going in the military which I did. To hear these fuckers wanting to use child labor for shit pay is infuriating.
I had so many different crap and low-paying jobs from the age of about 14 to after graduating from college, and - the first job that paid much was a farm and it was under the table and it was rough. The only job that possibly worked me harder (although since it was at crazy hours of the night, at least it was not quite as hot) was at a packaging place, unloading/loading trucks.
I felt the same way as you - definitely motivated me to finish the degree so I could do nearly anything else, especially if it was indoors and had HVAC.
I’m sure cons would say that is something that molded me into who I am today, but I’m not someone that then wants to turn around and also want people that follow me to have it just as bad; I want people to have it better than I did, FFS.
