Most of my way through high school I worked in movie theaters, which was actually the best job you could have as a teen. Then my first year of college I worked at the UPS plant in Deerfield Beach, Fl. loading the semi trucks. It paid almost $10 an hour, which in the early '90's wasn't a bad gig for an 18 year old, but you had to stand in the back of the trucks while these conveyor belts shot packages at you at 100 MPH and dodge them. Some of the packages were labeled explosive, biohazard, etc. but they would still shoot at you with little to no safety precautions. Then if the conveyor belt got jammed you had to climb up it and remove the package causing the jam, after which 10 thousand packages that were building up all shot at you at once. It was quite the workout...
