Whatever minimum wage was back then.
After I moved to Lexington I went to work unloading trucks for UPS making $6.17 an hour. That was decent money for a 19 year old boy back in 1975.
It was hard work, however. They treated you like a borrowed mule.
But that was okay once you got in shape to do it,....and unloading trucks at UPS would definitely put you in shape.
I was young,...in shape,...6', 180,...no fat,...had a decent paycheck coming in,..drove an old Mustang,.... split a decent apartment with a buddy,...could get a girl every now and then.
Life was good,...some of the best years of my life.
Then I started hosin' an elementary school teacher 3 years older than me who lived in the next apartment down the road.
Things stayed fugged for a long time after that. But they got better after about 20 years.
