Default Re: Is it OK to do that?

At the age of 12, I got the job in a ladies dress shop. I was first hired to take care of the inventory. That meant, to open the boxes, hang the clothes, and keep the racks and bins all straightened out. After a while, they realized how good I was with figures, so then i did the books. (everything was cash back then) I had to use a crank type adding machine. I worked weekends and after school, full time in the summer. I earned $3 a day for a 9 hour day.
As i said before, I paid for my own clothes and school supplies and had a savings account.My mother would not accept anything for free. (she worked 9 hours a day, six days a week.)
