With the new economic depression and it sort-of kind-of rising back to being “ok,” teenagers are going to great lengths and drastic measures to find some pocket money.
Parents are becoming stingy with their hard earned cash and students are finding that the only way to acquire those new brand jeans or have that shiny new concert ticket is to pay for it themselves.
“I’m kind of like a nanny,” Kailey Boyer comments on her money-making ways, “I pick kids up from school every day and drive them home and drop them off.”
Faced with the working world, teen jobs do not have to be complicated. Students do not have to go out of their way to find a paycheck. Most entertainment places are hiring constantly to keep up with the changing times. Animal shelters, nursing homes, and other care places also have a great reputation for hiring teens.
“I don’t want to work in food, because I feel like that will ruin it for me.” Junior Londyn Brickous states on what jobs interest her.
Applications are another dread to face. Most businesses put applications onlines, so before confronting the store manager and bombarding him/her with work related questions about the application, look over the application online to get a feel of what needs to be require.
Another tip for working in the world is to find a potential area that interests you. If a student likes the work they are doing, and are able to complete the tasks assigned, people are most likely to have fun while working.
