Weirdly enough, my first paying job (before high school even) was sorting bottle caps. Local soda bottling knocked over a stack of boxes of bottle caps. I guess it was cheaper hiring a kid than ordering new.
I hate to be a party pooper, so hear goes. I was a subway conductor for the New York City Transit Authority back in the 1980’s. The subway cars were covered from top to bottom, inside and out with graffiti. It was dirty and expensive to remove. It was so bad that when they decided what to call the new rail system in DC in the 1970’s, they were against the idea of calling it a subway because of the bad conotation that the New York City Subway System had back then. It has taken the city many years and several thousand if not millions to remove the graffiti and that helped to bring people back until the pandemic occurred.

I use to tell people that my first job out of college involved sales, distribution, and collections for a local paper – I had a paper route.
