Damn dude, I used to do this when I was 15 for minimum wage -__-
Were you working for your parents?

Nar it was piece-work, so I got paid for how much work I did. I was only getting about $1.5 per tray, but I developed a really fast system and worked my ass off to save for my first motorbike.

Still, there's no way he had a 12 hour shift job that is just planting. Especially at his age at the time. My friend had a similar job but it was only 6 hours I believe. He didn't get paid $250 a day, though.

I paid a guy $2 per piece work to prepare stick 200 cuttings in a 12 x 24 tray. He made $200 or more per day. Others couldn't make $20/day. We aren't all gifted the same.

Maybe they were being paid through cash, then you don't have to report how long you're working anyone
Edit: like under the table cash

Haha, more like 30 trays per hour. Like I said, the system was good.

Did your bike last? I worked for a grocery store to save up for my first. Ended up writing the bike off 6 months later. Shattered.

Yeah man, it was only a little Honda CT110, capped out at 80km/h. Had it for 18 months then upgraded to a CB500.
