    Ah, privilege. Parents had ok jobs. As soon as I needed sports equipment or wanted to go out to eat/pay for friends etc etc it was lawn mowing, paper route, construction from 6th grade.

      Yeah, I dunno, I wanted to work, because I know it would give me money to go do things I wanted to do. Got my first job at 15, which was the youngest you could work in NJ, and have had consistent employment ever since. Money is, unfortunately, important.
