My first job was as a ranch hand in the south of the US. I was paid 5.15 an hour to scoop heavy pads of horse piss and horse crap, help rich people's kids saddle and tack their horses, clean filthy horses, all while being treated like a dog by nasty rich people. Used to get kicked and bit as well.
Things are better now, but I'd like to know your stories too, bonus points if they were uniquely bad.
