Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!
My first meaningful employment was a "straight commission" job. My draw was $175 a week.
I paid all my own expenses on the road. I traveled and spent four nights a week in hotels. Gas was .19 a gallon. In a typical small town Iowa cafe, a plate of food that could feed two normal humans cost .75 cents.
OK. What year was it?
[hint] The Everly Brothers', "Wake up little Suzie", was big.
