I lasted a little longer than you, maybe three whole weeks one year! One of the few ways for a kid to earn money. Would come home covered in mud, fingers stained, dreaming of strawberries at night.

Did you learn anything about fair labor practices that you apply in your business dealings now? Do you apply this experience to your dealings with employees? Did you decide to go into law or community organizing or politics or economics to figure out how to get a living wage for the individuals (often not children) who pick strawberries?
