I think I earned just under 40k from March to December 1980 at age 23. My manager had me working the senior market... 40 year olds.

I was licensed so long ago that we still used rocks with holes in the middle as money. I earned enough to buy a goat and a wife.

Had you been successful you could have gotten a camel and two more wives.. You would have been set for life. Shame Mah wasn't around in those days to teach you how to become a millionaire.

Is it okay I embellished my income in an anonymous poll?
