[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2655739, member: 1535"] My father had an auto body/mechanic shop, a used car lot, a couple of Green Lite auto parts stores, and later an AC-Delco parts warehouse. It wasnt a choice to work at our house it was required, every kid in the house had a job to do for my dad. I started out cleaning up in the shop when I was just a little kid every day after school and most weekends, moved up to paint mixer and prep/make ready for my dad the main painter, worked in the warehouse when needed, graduated to the parts store but not on the counter- they usually stuck me in the back mixing paint, when I got my drivers license I did deliveries for the stores and the warehouse, finally got to work on the counter as a salesman when I was in highschool. That was a big deal to me back then. I was able to buy into my own small business while still in highschool, bought my own new Blazer and built a couple of hot rods, bought some land up in the mountains in northern CA next door to land that my grampa bought in the 1930s that I still own today. Im glad my father instilled in us work ethic early on and to be independant, have been self employed ever since. [/QUOTE]
