I’ve been working since I was 14. Do you know anyone with 20 years experience before 40?

Same here. 14 working on farm in the summer bailing hay then stacking the 75 pound bails 3 stories high in the barn .
You start exactly like cubert steps.

Then when that was done we would shovel out the animal stalls.
With like 8 - 13 layers if pure hell on a pitchfork..
You ever peel back a few layers & straight up white clouds of AMONIA punch you in the lungs???

I dont recommend it & the literal piles of maggots everywhere as they waterfall off the shovel etc.

Every job i had ever since then has been a cakewalk in comparison, no job has ever worked me as hard or rattled me since.

Just the sweating with hay & dust particles clogging every pore & getting into all the cracks and crevices alone was torture…
