I can say the same but I started at 14. Aside from my teenage career as a petroleum transferring engineer, I have done electronic security and fire alarm systems all my life. I’m very good at it but really tired of it.

The only thing that makes it tolerable now is that I’m self employed, but that has its own, different kinds of stress, as opposed to having a boss and a time clock.

Hopefully I can sell my company/accounts for something that will make my retirement fund stretch long enough.

I started doing some paid work at 9 and then heavier farm and yard labor at 13. Funny thing is that I have generally had desk-ish jobs since college, but nearly every recession meant going back out with tools. It has made for a varied life. Looks like I may end up with the same job for around 20 years at the tail end of all that time. It is a little bizarre to me.

Nah. It’s for me.

I actually started mowing lawns and washing cars at ten and babysat for neighbors at twelve. I actually saved enough to buy my first bike, a ‘66 Suzuki 120 when I was in sixth grade. My first “real job” was stocking shoes at Kinney’s as soon as I got my drivers license and I quickly became a salesman which I did through high school. There was always some kind of hustle, like playing in bands, to earn money for records, gas, and beer. I managed to save 2K toward a decent car for college. My parents were generous. But they made sure we knew the value of a dollar and that nothing came easy.

One of the first songs I learned to play:

The 400+ I had is one of my biggest mistakes selling .
But man oh man at the price of tubes today!
The 400 tones are in the TT, still digging for the sweet spot: last weekend I got really close (the vid I posted earlier)

My first real amp was a Bassman 50. Last I heard a guitarist in SLO still has mine, a ‘63. The TT Boogie channel has some of it with volume we never had back in the day. Really no need for the 400+ with having the TT. But it would be cool to have one just because.
