I worked in high school at a creamery that made and processed cheese and butter. I was a part-time hourly worker hired to package cheese and cheese products for distribution to grocery stores. The wages were very good for a person under age 18, and helped me to save up for my post-secondary schooling. This job taught me the value of laborers in factories, and gave me a sense of gratitude for those who work in manufacturing and other similar industries. I worked there for about 18 months before preparing to go to college.
Adapt to changes in technology and strive to maintain the civil rights available to all in the state.
