I was 17 working in a hotel, and they needed more workers asap for the weekend. Sent out onto the street to recruit people who ended up labouring for a few days, sleeping and eating in the hotel. A few weeks later, a guy jumped out of a dumpster in the backyard of the hotel where he had been jumping up and down on rubbish to compact it to thank me, as he had ended up getting employed full time at the hotel.
I would have just finished my A-Levels and would have started my Articles with a big 4 firm a few weeks later... the world is indeed an unequal place. Back then there was still apartheid; I could enter through the front door, the workers I worked amongst had to use the back entrance.
