That's how I grew up. My dad climbed up telephone poles to hook up our caravan's power.
I later travelled from hostel to hostel, hitchhiking from SF to NY, then across Europe a couple of times. Worked on farms, in bars, housekeeping. (free hostel for work) Carpentry, restoration, house painting...
In '72, I was one of the first women firefighters in WA state. And in twinter worked with a 5 man crew snow shoeing in the foothills of the Cascades.
Now it's getting difficult to walk. It's ok, I have great memories.
Those jobs give you a real preparation for your life. I did some of them too. My favorite was beekeeping. This was before monoculture herbicides were killing bees en mass.
I kept some goats in the NY Catskills. I made goat cheese. We had a stall at the Twin Towers.
I worked at the Athol Palace in Scotland and sold handmade bags at Haight-Ashbury while OJ was slow racing on the teevee. I turned 18 in that hostel on Market st.
"Mark Twain" means the second mark on a line that measured depth, signifying two fathoms, or 12 feet, which was a safe depth for riverboats in Misissippi.

Here, I worked at the Geothermal pools.
One of my favorite of Twain's stories is The Laborious Ant. He describes the rat race and our quest for riches.
