(75,331 posts)I was a freshman in HS. I worked Saturday & Sunday mornings, so 10 hours a week.
The first summer we (my brousin & i) got hired to strip, clean & relax all the floors for about 2 weeks, then they had me show up on Tuesdays so the janitor could have a day off.
Stroke of luck was that the summer between sophomore & junior year of HS, the janitor retired. They neededspmeone 6 days a week & me being available gave them a few months to find someone. So, I had a FT job fir the summer.
The next summer, that guy got fired for drinking on the job (oh, and it was the hall's liquor) so another summer another FT job. I left HS for college after the 3rd year but still lived around there, so I still worked on weekends & I ran the fish fry on Friday nights.
The next summer, the new janitor had a heart attack, so they needed me for June through mid-August.
Between my 2nd & 3rd year of college, they just decided to have me work full-time in the summer even though they had a good reliable janitor.
I graduated after 3 years of college so I got a job in my field.
But, for 5 years or so I did that janitors job.
