First job: I worked on the shrimp docks in Port Isabel when I was in high school.

What it taught me: I learned a lot of stuff I probably will never use. I learned how to work in an ice house, how to vacuum shrimp out of a boat and to load enough diesel into a boat to last for months. It was a lot of manual labor, but it was interesting.
