I Pioneered in school vacation time, and left school as soon as I legally could to get into it fulltime (16). Like Tij, I enjoyed Pioneer School and would have enjoyed instructing at it.
I thought about Bethel, when I was a kid, but decided I'd rather marry
They called it "Vacation Pioneering" way back when I was involved. I think one was required to put in 75 hours a month. I did it for a couple months and burned out. I have never EVER been responsible for brining ANYONE into Watchtower Slavery. Of that I am very glad indeed. MM

I aux. pioneered for 6 months then started regular just out of high school. I finished school early in order to start pioneering right away, while I supported myself with landscaping and janitorial jobs for brothers in the congregation. In total, I pioneered for 4 years and also spent over a year at Wallkill, Bethel.
Isn't it weird (and also insanely stupid) that previously in the organization this would have been my personal bragging rights badge? What a waste of life.
