How many years of your life have you worked?

[Spinneret]

In my 11th year.

48 years according to my Social Security records. Probably really 50 years as the neighbors across the street built apartments and paid their son and I to put the handles on the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. That was cash and limited hours as I was only 14.

Enough?

Got my first paying job when I was 9 - and my first ‘real’ job that counted towards SS when I turned 16 and then retired at 66 - so either 57 or 50 years - depending on how you count.

I need an algorithm to answer
Age 12-18 3 months a summer in the agriculture fields of Stayton Oregon

18-22 as a university student 3 months a summer to can/freeze agriculture products

No jobs available in degrees so worked retail for 2 years... needed a paid vacation ..so joined the Army for 3 years

Then worked 15 years until I heard in 1998 about the eBay gold Rush.. that was work!!!!... retirement came 2017

I got my first paying gig at 16. Worked weekends and holidays for a couple of years.
Started full time work at 18.
I'm 68 now and still working full time.
So 52 years?

But I've always been in entertainment so I've never had a real job.

Yikes! When I read the above I thought, "I better retire."

But I ain't got time for that.
