Bruce from Can. said: (quoted from post at 11:21:50 07/03/14) I was in high school in the early 70's coke went from ten cents to fifteen, and then to twenty five all in 4 years. I drove to school in my last two years, gas was .50 gallon. I worked for a dairy farmer, milking cows and doing chores, $2.50 per hour. When school was over I went to the city, got a job at $3.25 per hour. Stayed till April 1981, pay was up to $3.65 per hour.Rented a farm and started farming, I was 20, haven't had a hourly wage since. Bruce
I made $600 a month. House/power/heat had to come of yet when milking for that cheap SOB Sales guy in Ont in 80.I could not make ends meet with that hunger pay.
I moved west to Alberta in 81,milking cows there i jumped to $1300/month clean in the pocket with brand new house + heat/power provided free on top.I got a $450 raise a couple months later.
I thought i had gone to heaven :wink:
