I did the farm work in high school, shoveling manure, grinding feed, walking soybeans, making fence, painting buildings, baling hay, you name it. Didn't stop me from buying my own farm.
Worst job ever? A toss up between detasseling corn and working at Proctor and Gamble. I think P&G was worse. I blistered every finger numerous times snapping pump containers of Crest toothpaste into 12 pack rings and putting them in a case. It was a Union shop and I was a scab because the union laborers wouldn't do it. They hired it out to Manpower Temp Services and I needed to pay tuition. I quit when my U bill was paid.
