I'm pretty sure I started out in demolition as my first regular paying job. It's hard to remember, but I know I was around 12 or so when I walked onto the first site, and I can't remember anything similar previously.
Before that, though, I did various things for money when I needed it; pest removal, clearing, fighting, deliveries, and selling the odd item here and there in school that most certainly didn't belong there...
I also had a grand old time walking into arcades and betting events and bumming a quarter or a dollar off everyone I could find, depending upon the location. I'd wander around and hit them all once a week or so until the joints dried up, and then wait a while and hit them again.
Used to get my cousin's group to take me out on their motorcycles so I could hit up the bars, games, and arcades farther out. Helped them pull simple cons and stuff here and there for the favors; making sure people won or lost, and that sort of thing.
Now that I think about it, I was always up to no good when I wasn't off in the woods...:smilelol:
Cheers,
