I grew up in a small farming community in Indiana and from 8th grade on I worked summers and after school on a Dairy farm.

I think I got paid $9/hour or something like that, but I worked so many hours that I had a decent amount saved up after a while.

The work was really hard, and that's what made me decide to go to college for Computer Science. I respect people who can do that work their whole life, but it is rough.
