9. One of our local Congressional reps works at businesses in his district

(not paid, of course)

Over the years, he has flipped burgers, baked cakes, driven a UPS route, worked houskeeping at a hotel, served lunch in a school cafeteria, delivered for a wholesale food company, worked at various factories. and handled luggage at American Airlines.

Regarding the housekeeping job he said "These folks are definitely not paid enough"

I think every single member of Congress (House and Senate)should do something like this at least once a year. Marc says he is not the only one but there are not very many.

His district is just a couple of miles north of us. I do wish he was my Congressman!!
