I'm so old I Remember when:

[MichaelDJ]

I remember when fast food jobs, pouring coffee etc. we're done by high-school and college kids for gas, pizza and beer money. Those jobs were not considered careers.

I remember having the six gun and holster to go with those.

You must be an old sole then!

My Mom bought it from a school supply store. It was not great paper. Hard to erase on because it'd tear.

She also bought stencils to try and fix my lovely handwriting. I don't recall them working as intended though, since Nobby Gibberish and Nobby Somewhat Readable are the two main fonts I use for writing.

I take a photo of my food sometimes, especially if at a restaurant. That way I can look back at the photo and make myself hungry.

We would love to hire teens or college students to do small tasks around our property. There just don't seem to be any who do that kind of stuff anymore.

When I was in college we were always on the lookout for small jobs that paid cash. In fact there was an office on campus that handled that. They took calls from the community and posted jobs on 3x5 cards on a bulletin board. You just walked up, picked a card, did the job and voilà! Pocket money for the weekend.

There were all kinds of jobs: manual labor, babysitting, tutoring, housesitting, transcription, elder care, almost anything. Once I modeled outfits from a country club pro shop at a poolside fashion show with several other girls. That was fun!

There's still a fair chance you'll find at least one who's willing to do those tasks. I suppose the problem is actually finding out where they exist.
