After holding these high responsibilities for a time, I was allowed to excercise some of the horses and then I was taught how to halter break the foals. Around this time I was given a big raise to $3.00 a day. Yeah, that's $3 per day.
It was hard work. I still loved every minute of it. It kept a 14 year old kid busy and created wonderful memories and fabulous opportunities. We'll talk about those another day.

Really, $1.50 a day? Enjoyed this glimpse into Michelle's past!
ReplyDeleteWow and I thought my first job was low paying! Good to see you were doing what you loved!
ReplyDeleteI am willing to bet that there was not a long line of kids waiting for that assignment.
ReplyDeleteCarol, Really. $1.50 a day. Less Social Security taxes. I had to get a social security number for this job. LOL
ReplyDeleteMarian, I was doing what I loved. It was a pivotal time in my life.
Claudia, Actually there were several kids who would have loved to have this job! In fact, one girl was really, really PISSED at me. It's not good to have a teenage girl pissed off at you! Oh no.
