What was your first real job? How much did you get paid? Did you hate the job?
His Response:My first job was as president of the P.S. Thompson Company. Yup, I started at the top and have been in a freefall ever since.
In 10th grade, I set up an assembly line to make in-line fuse holders, wiring harnesses and fuse blocks for the recreational vehicle industry. I'd sit in my room, cutting and crimping wire, for a couple of hours every day after school. My dad, at the time, was an electrical parts salesman to that industry. He would take my product to his customer and I'd get a check.
It wasn't much, but it certainly paid for a 10th grader's social life.
