9-Year-Old Jack from Plaistow, New Hampshire, Started his Own Firewood Stand

How old were you when you had your very first job?

I remember my parents owned a community theater in my town. When I was 10-years-old they started letting me hand out programs to audience members and hit them with a "enjoy the show"! This wasn't hard labor by any means but it felt good to contribute to the family business.

Hardworking people are born and bred in New Hampshire and sometimes you can identify a great work ethic at a very young age.

9-year-old Jack from Plaistow is a prime example of this.

Jack  is an entrepreneur and has started his own firewood stand! Someone on the New Hampshire subreddit group posted a photo of the sign on the tree next to his firewood stand.(I'm guessing it was written by his dad, could be mom!)

Kudos to Jack! He's not sitting inside playing Call of Duty arguing with other 9-year-olds on a headset. He's outside working with his hands, learning new skills, and building his own business.

This guy isn't even in the double digits and he already has a stronger work ethic than some fully cooked adults I know. And shoutout to his parents for encouraging him to learn the value of hard work and for teaching him what it feels like to earn your own money at such a young age. Jack has a bright future ahead of him and we are just happy to be able to witness the beginning of his journey.
