When I graduated in California from high school in June 1973 I went to work (for the next 20 months) at a Chevron station while attending Community College (Auto Technology classes mostly). I was always paid minimum wages which were $1.65 hour during 1973 and then $2.00 after that. Oh, I worked six days a week so maybe I was paid time and a half on Saturdays (can't remember for sure).
