Wasn't that long ago our grandparents/great grandparents went to work young and did dangerous work... My grandpa used to go with his dad to work in the coal mines. He didn't like it, the tunnels were too small and dark, so he decided to work the ground from above it (rather than below it) and became a farmer.
