Problem with your theory is I don't care if ye got 20 years experience flippin hamburgers I wouldn't hire ya to drive my combine when busy into a harvest season.
I started out at the good old age of 13 .. to prove my worth I helped stack a load of hay on the neighbors farm at that time my day job was selling the Grit news paper for 15¢ a copy (I made a nickle) I had a 3 mile bike run to deliver 14 papers so I already had an income of 70¢ a week and the farm was on the end of my run. He ask me what I expected for pay I told him a dollar a day and he seemed to jump on that....Forward about another month...He came to me and said if I'd stay through the winter he would pay me 50¢ an hour and learn to milk the cows feed , bed them and clean gutter...I jumped on that as it was before and after school ..forward to first cutting of hay after that I ended up helping all the neighbors because 4 farms used to do work for each other (share croping) either plowing or harrowing fields, I learned to rake hay with a side delivery rake.. then onto a riding combine with a sacker.. I was the sacker on two different machines don't even remember the brands one didn't have a chute to stack them on till ya got to a drop off point and bins set facing the driver of the tractor..you were behind the bin and the dust was almost unbearable especially in rag weed. the second one I didn't mind it left the man sacking set sideways away from most of the dust and had a sloped chute to stack full sacks so we could drop them in piles of 6 by that time I was making a whole 65¢ an hour that continued til I got my drivers license and I got a job on a Christmas tree farm for 75¢ an hour Did that till I was 18 and got my first truck driving job for $2.25 an hour putting in driveways at the end of my 19th birthday My neighbors felt so good about me that they wanted to see me in uniform (At least that is what the letter said ) Many years passed since then, but my working career started through my determination to prove I could do it only because I wanted it bad enough.
