Right or wrong?

You got PAID?!?
I worked in the hay fields on my grandpa's farm all summer, every summer, from age 8 to 16. Never got paid a dime - just room & board.
I wasn't a substitute for "illegal alien labor" - that wasn't even a "thing" back then. By your definition I was SLAVE labor!
But I learned what it means to really WORK. A lesson that served me well for the rest of my life.

It was worth it, IMO.

I was working for other folks - I hauled our wheatstraw (a neighbor farmed our little patch of land) as a chore. Dad had a 'good' job as a Federal prison guard.
