Great episode, fellas!

Best high school job(s), which I actually worked both in the same summer, one on evenings and weekends and the other on weekdays.

1. dishwasher/bus boy at a small town restaurant, because the harder I hustled the more I'd get tipped out by the servers at the end of the night, worked with my friends, tons of customer interaction, and free food every shift!

2. Grass cutting, because I got to work outside all day in the sun, plenty of sweat equity, tan, got to drive a pickup truck, and most of our customers were retirees who loved to chat and had great stories / advice to tell.

Worst high school job: flagger on a road construction crew, because I stood in one place for 12 hours per day talking to nobody, I was 20 years younger than anyone else on the crew, and the only one who didn't smoke and couldn't drink during breaks. I was making $16/hour in 2001 and I quit after 8 days. It was that bad.

Solid stuff right here Casey!

Grass cutting is a money first job, no doubt. Brian’s daughter ran (is running) a biz first year right now, $1,500+ for a elementary school kid!
