Minimum wage was $1.61, (Connecticut's minimum wage law set the minimum
1% higher than federal rounded down), when I took my first job. Usher,
(actual title was "Officer" which meant I was in charge of the other
Usher, in reality it just required that I be held responsible, and
generally verbally abused, if something went wrong, no extra pay
involved), I too felt rich, was suddenly popular, with everyone in
highschool who had previously ignored me and wanted to get in to see the
movie for free. Highlights and lowlights included 1.) Getting to see "I
am curious yellow." and another foreign film classic "Maid in Sweden"
both X rated at the time though being under age. Then working every
second night during Hello Dolly's entire 12 week run, (I can still sing
most of those songs by heart, God help me). You can pick for yourself
which were the highlights and lowlights. Really they all qualify as both.

I felt very rich at 15. The non-computerized cash registers rattled
like machine guns, and we had to give change without the help of a
cash register--and we were good at it too.
