What Was Your First Job and What Did You Learn From it?

Awhile back, my daughter, Jill was asked by her employer, "What was your first job and what did it teach you?" This is what she wrote:

"When I was about five years old my brother, sister, and I picked up walnuts from the back yard. We weighed and bagged them, put them in a little red wagon and sold them door-to-door on Saturdays. It was tiring, but effective in fattening up our piggy banks. There were a lot of lessons learned from dragging that little wagon door-to-door. I learned that hard work, perseverance and a friendly smile really pay off in the sales world. I also learned the basics of handling money and keeping track of earnings to be sure I was paid my fair share. Mostly, though, I learned the value of teamwork; you can fill the wagon faster when everyone helps; nobody gets too tired when you take turns pulling the wagon; and best of all, if you have a nice brother to pull the wagon home, you can catch a ride and rest your weary feet (but if you start throwing nuts at him, the ride will promptly end and he'll whomp on you)!:
