They said, ―Well, we don‘t have any, but we have a route that‘s been abandoned; it‘s a little bit bigger than what we usually give to a 15 -year-old, but if you want it, you can have it.‖ So I said, ―Sure.‖ So I had a paper route, and I had a job at a local grocery store. I worked there on Saturdays and during the summer. And then I worked at a local department store, and then I worked at a local clothing store. So I was able to pay for my college education.
