Pros

The money was great for a 17yr old; $12.50/hr!

Cons

The job itself was miserable. Super hot weather in the dead of summer, walking up and down rows of corn all day long, counting them aloud to the field assistant. You have to wear long sleeves and long denim in the field. 8hrs of blistering heat & 1 30 minute break. I had to quit, it was m.i.s.e.r.a.b.l.e
