My first legal job in 1957 was at the "Piggly Wiggly" food store in Sarasota Fl. and was $1.00 an hour. (Bag-Boy)
I'm now retired (with min. bills and can do what I want, when I want)
That's where I was spoiled with my jobs; when I got hurt and changed over to doing IT work, I got the chance to travel on someone else's dime, and have room and board paid for, plus got paid to be there! And I traveled a lot! I think I've been to just about every major airport in this country.
Some of the trips bit the big one, like Homer Alaska the 3rd week in January for 10 days (oh boy what fun NOT)
Then there were others to make up for it; like 3 weeks in Hawaii traveling to all 4 major Islands.
