I got my first job wile I was in high school, as a 11th grade Junior. I went to work for a family business. That taught me a lot of the photography business, but I left when he could not pay me 12K per year in 1977. That is the equal of 51 grand per year now. I moved to Oklahoma and started and 12K per year. He was a great boss, but I was never getting rich working for a family. I went to work for other family businesses, and only one was truly generous with raises and bonuses. I have never worked in "corporate world" and dealt with layers of management. If I ever had a question or problem, I went right to the owner of the company.
Now I own a company of my own. I have a real jerk for a boss, he makes me work late, on weekends, no overtime, and he make me mow the yard at his house. I have to wash his car and his wife's car. I have to do my real job and also all the household chores. I get even with him by sleeping with his wife, and drinking his beer. My commute is just 12 steps down the hall and I can listen to my music at work all day.
Our company is growing and I see the future looks bright. Like every company I want more business. I am a greedy capitalist that sunk money into starting a company to keep working.
