Hey rich guy, I got 3.65/hr in 1988 pumping gas at Kingsway Auto in Medicine Hat. Sounds like I was taken advantage of, your dad probably paid six cents a flyer by then. If I could go back in time I should give that gas station owner a piece of my mind how much he was oppressing me.
Fortunately, I was taught how business works early in life, and built my way to making myself more valuable to an employer. Within a year I was earning 7 bucks an hour decommissioning a fertilizer plant as a grunt.
It was a great lesson.
