What was your first job?

The internet decided that today we should all talk about our first job, so here goes. To be honest, I don’t remember which came first, but it was one of the following two jobs:

  • Caddying at the local country club
  • A garden weeding service I started.  I posted fliers around the neighborhood got people to hire me to do weeding at an hourly rate.

If the money were a bit better, I wouldn’t mind going back to caddying.  I loved being outdoors.  I loved watching good golfers play. And, I’d always take a monumental nap once I got home. One of my favorite books growing up was The Green Road Home, which was a book about a writer who spent some time caddying for Brad Faxon on the PGA. I could totally see doing that. Too bad pro tour bags weigh as much as I do.
