As a younger man, I worked in the concrete construction business for exactly 10 hours. In the morning, we unloaded and placed an entire truckload of foundation forms by hand. In the afternoon, we dug out the ground for a new garage pour, by hand. Then, a full truckload of gravel showed up, and we spread it, by hand. I fell asleep in the truck on the way back to the yard. The next day, the owner approached me, gave me $100 dollars cash, and thanked me for my service. That was it. Career over. I spent the $100 on a new suit. I didn't know what I was going to do for a job, but I knew I wanted that suit as my work clothes.
