And I remember just thinking, what is that all about?

And what's this work thing?

What's the deal with work?

And I remember thinking, I think I'm supposed to work one day.

I'd kind of like to figure out why this isn't so fun.

And I remember him saying to me when I was a kid, if it were fun, they wouldn't call it work.

And I thought, oh no.

Then I got my first jobs in school and then I went to college and we were on the poorer side of things.

The very first job I had was like an odd job.

I was at the barbershop when I was 12 and he said, hey kid, you want to make $20 this Saturday?

And I said, sure.

So he drove us out to the oil fields outside of Bakersfield, California, where I lived.

And we would sit in a foxhole

And then they'd blow a horn and we'd have to get up and prop up these metal pigs and other animals at a shooting gallery.

And then they'd blow a horn and we'd have to dive back in the foxhole and people would shoot at these targets.

And I remember thinking, I think I'm going to go to college.

Then I was a busboy at age 13 and I worked in a bar, which was illegal, but I didn't know that.

And then I was a bank teller, really simple things.

And I had no idea that there was a corporate world out there.

I lived in a pretty rural-ish place and went to college, first generation.
