What I Did:
Highway cleanup.
How I Did It:
It was the summer before college - to major in music. It wasn't a bad job really. We drove around to the messy regions and used long sticks with a point to pick up the garbage. Job Corps was taking lots of kids that year to learn about working. I thought some of the luckier ones got to read to kids at the library, which I would have loved, but...
Advice
- I worked with some different kinds of kids. I was a nerd. They were wilder and cooler. I was quiet and shy, but they turned out to be nice kids. It was educational. I learned about people. I was all about academics then, but I learned that a manual labor job can be nice.
