From a mid southwest non border state & a border state & Hawaii and the deep south.
No place in the poll for an Air Force brat that lived in many states.
I did not grow up on a farm but my parents, and in-laws had lots of farm life. Up before dawn inside at night, the rest of the time was work, except from the mother the worked all the time.
By the time I was physically able to push a lawn mower I was fighting my brother for the law mower to make money. At Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL. the base has a federal prison. The prisoners mowed the yards of the living quarters on base for free. It is dang hard to compete with free. The base did not edge yards. My dad fronted the money for us to buy a gas powered edger. We had to pay him back in full. We made good money edging yards. This was before the string trimmer everyone has today.
I had to earn the money for every car I have ever owned. I did not drive my dad's car until I had bought and paid for three cars on my own.
I got my first job when I was a junior in high school. Since that day I have been un-employed only 7 days. I have never had a summer off, I have never been on vacation longer than two weeks straight.
