Well, what I want to do for a career (teaching) is not a field I can just intern in during the summer. So until I get my college degree, I will try to milk as much money as a I can from business internships, even though I hate business.
Oh, and Mystria: Zynx is right about the "enrichment" part of work, but as an additional reason to get a job--money is not only good, but necessary. When you go to college, you will be gald you have money, trust me. When it's not there, you can feel paralyzed.

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. lol, I remember that day. I went to the office of the sales person that sold our house. I have to admit it was kind of boring but at least she let me go home early. ;D

I've been saving a lot of my money over the last five years and in particular over the last year with my job. I must have saved 75% of my money away. I hope to have a total of about $25,000 stashed away outside money that will be going towards tuition. Most of that will be invested, but I'll have a good amount in cash.

Most people at college barely have 5 cents to their name through most of the semester. They pretty much beg their parents for liqour and beer money and wonder where it goes two weeks later.

I took a job at this nice little hell-hole I like to call Toys R Us. HORRIBLE management. I sign up for 6 hours sat and 6 hours sunday but they put me on 8 hours per. Alright, in a standard 8-hour job (atleast with retail), you're legally entitled to a 15 minute break after 3 hours, a 45 minute break after 5 hours, and a 15 minute break after 8 hours. Well, the bastards would let me out one minute early so I wouldn't get that 3rd break. Let's not forget that they tend to give break 2 (lunch break usually) an hour late. Oh, and I signed up to work at the R' Zone and guess where they put me? The baby aisle. Oh, not to mention that you have to listen to Elmo and pal sing their songs for 8 hours straight. I'd rather choke on a pretzel before working at Toys R Us again.

Yeah, believe me, it did. Now I'm reluctant to picking up a job with retail again... Although I did always want to work at the movie theatre
