When I was a kid, I used to work from 5am to 5pm 5-days a week during the Summer to help out the household. Did that for several years until I turned 16 and was able to find a real job..
In reality in was more like 465 because we live in the city and fields and farms were in the outskirts. In order to get there at 5am, we had to get up at 4am and by the time we got home it was already 6pm so basically starts at 4am til 6pm 5-days a week.
Good life lesson because out there in the field, they pay you exactly for the work that you do i.e., by the pound, basket, sack, row, etc.:
