For me, it happened when I took a minimum wage job at a movie theater as a teenager in the late 90's. Worked my way up to assistant manager which meant I made 25 cents more an hour than anyone else. Big time! I had keys to the place and was allowed to watch after hours movies once the place was locked up. We threw some legendary parties in there. Man do I miss those days. When I wasnt goofing off I also took it upon myself to tweak the sound in each of the 6 auditoriums. The local technicians ignored our theater because it wasnt a busy money maker for the company. I had no idea what I was doing, but would some times spend all night in there alone just playing with the amps until I got it sounding better. It was my own private cineplex! That feeling never left me and I've been a hard core AV guy ever since. This is the reason I HAD to build a dedicated home theater when I built my house years ago.
The theater was torn down back in the early 2000's and turned into a Sams Club. I found this picture of it online over at cinematreasures.org just a few minutes ago! Havent seen the place in years! I'd love to relive that part of my life again.
The best job I ever had paid the least!
