What do you all do for a living/hourly wage slave job?
I personally have an hourly wage slave job working as a tech sales guy at the local Officemax where the managers love me for some weird reason and I won employee of the month back in December. The main thing I do is sell extended warranties and service plans on products, particularly large printers, when the opportunity arises. It's not a bad job and it gets me enough to money to build up my investments before I go off to college.

GJ, go work hard for another emplyee of the month! I myself dont' have a job yet. I don't think I'll get another one anytime soon. They tend to avoid giving people tightly spaced EOTM awards. However, getting it just once, particularly after working there for only four months before that, was a big goal of mine.

I'm probably going to go and get a job at the new shops that are opening right across my street this summer.

My parents want me to get a job this summer Don't dispair. Getting a job was one of the most satisfying events in my life. Working is a personally enriching experience if you look at it the right way.

My parents want me to get a job this summer I thought you couldn't get a job til you're 15? I don't have a job right now, but I worked at that lab where my dad works during Christmas break. It was... hell, even though I only worked for a total of 7 days. I was there from 9 AM - 5 PM everyday. I washed so many things and dumped out so many chemicals that I never want to do it again. Well, in the end, I DID earn about $500.

lol no wonder your employers love you It could be because I generally am grateful for the opportunity to work and I like my job in dealing with customers except when they are bitches and complain about things I have no control over or misplace items in the store so that I have to go through hell when we are doing recovery.

Well, 15 here.
I remember we had to do some "TAKE YOUR KIDS TO WORK" day thing in gr 9. It was... well, at least we got to miss school that day, but it was extremely boring. I didn't start working til I was 16 though, and I didn't even get paid that time.

I'm going to try and get a summer job, though I don't know how since I'll be on vacation, helping at Vacation Bible School, and volunteering at the Red Cross at an Army hospital (where even the regular volunteers bitch the hell out of you for not working there as long as they have). Right now, school is way too difficult to take a job: on some nights, I spend three hours doing homework for my stupid AP classes. I applied at a movie theater (which lost the original application), a candy store (My thinking: Hey, candy is fun!), Payless, OfficeMax etc. Sidenote: Stupid Texas, requiring a work permit if you're under 18...I've already got my food handler's license, but nobody will hire..
