Socialism is not in the least what it pretends to be ... It does not build, it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created. Ludwig von Mises

My first job was in 1969, shortly after I graduated high school. I went though a local employment agency. After two interviews, both companies offered me a position, which somewhat pissed off my mom who was working full time making over $1000 less per year than my starting pay was. I eventually received my bachelors degree in 1981, after going part time for way too long.

That really was the golden age of American manufacturing and a great time for anyone that wanted a good job.
