You have also been humbled by a **** job and realize that the world isn't the fairy tale you would rather live in (just a generalization).

If you dont mind me asking lucylamppost, what jobs have you had?

Seltzer · 02-10-2008, 10:44 PM

I worked during 3 years of high school, and I wish I didn't, especially as I was already making money from business ventures.

To be honest, you don't need much money when you're living at home and at high school. Your time can be better spent with mates, (in some people's cases) doing schoolwork, or bird-doggin' chicks and bangin' beaver. Seriously though, high school years are some of the best of your life (probably sounds naive as I'm only going on 20).

Of course it depends on your situation... but I think the ideal situation is to work perhaps 5 hours a week after school, so that you have enough money to buy necessary things, but it doesn't intrude on your life. And if you really need money (for uni etc), work in the summer hols.

No Worries
My first job was working at Burger King (and I dont eat meat)
Then I worked at Store that sold beads
I have been a house back riding instructor
Then I was a photographer (like weddings and ****)
Worked for a non-profit, community-based conservation group to protect and restore the Rouge Watershed in Toronto Ontario Canada.
Then for 6 months of my life I was a tree planter planting anywhere from 2000-3000 trees a day
And also worked at a photolab in shoppers drug mart

I never got the whole 'if you work young it'll build character' thing. If by character you subordinance and an acceptance of authority then yah, I guess it does.

Lizzie · 02-10-2008, 11:19 PM

Working young is dumb and horrible, and I don't know why I do it....except I think I got fired....but I'm not sure
