I traded a steady paycheck for purpose... now I'm asking if I can have both. My dad put me to work at age 14. Yep, he found me a job with a friend of his, flipping hamburgers at a local bowling alley. I got my next job at age 15, working as a waitress at a truck stop. By the time I was 16 and able to drive, I understood the value of hard work. At that time, hard work = making money. And I stored away all my hard earned cash in a gym bag in my closet. I remember getting that gym bag out...
