Poor you... A friend of me worked there as well. He got fired when they found another younger person, which they had to pay less. Terrible organisation, imo :nope:
I'm sixteen, and this summer was supposed to be my first summer job but thankfully because of summer classes and because I will have to go away for two months at the end of the summer, I didn't have to after all. On the down side I have no income what so ever so I'm screwed as soon as my bank account runs dry.
yes and rich people live within the same area and teenagers are constantly trying to out do each other with their sweet sixteen parties where they buy cars, have famous people stop buy, give their guests cool things.. i know this via MTV and as we all know, MTV is very informative!
I know some people do, but for most of us, no. I don't get an allowance, although some of my friends get around 50 dollars a week.
I think that you might be right. My family is split in its fortune, one side rich, other side poor. My mother tries to get me to work but my step father just wants to buy me things and doesn't want me to work. its so strange....
You can consider yourself quite lucky I guess. My parents weren't that protective. As soon as I got 15, they just told me that getting a job was part of growing up, so I could better get one (yes, they were pretty clear about that. hehehe) Anyway, I don't hate working as long as I still have some spare time. In the past I've been using up more than 60 hours per week for work and study. That is far too much. On the other side I like the idea of earning your own money and being kind of independant.
Haha, I don't think that a TV show on MTV meant to expose the lifestyles of the super rich is a good representation of the lifestyle of every family in America. 99% of people in this country would NEVER be able to live like that, though the part about rich neighborhoods trying to outdo each other is very true. I've been on scholarship in a Catholic school in a rich neighborhood for a few years, and that is /exactly/ what happens. It's pretty extreme, and very sad.
Hmm.. A paper round was 14 for a year. Then I worked as a waitress at a pub for a year until I was 16. Then I worked after school in a shop and was promoted to a Duty Manager when I was 18. Stayed doing that for about 18 months and have been working at a Financial Advisers for the last 6 months. I look after the Group & Company Pension schemes that our company handles and I'm studying for my first exam in Financial Planning at the moment. Yes, I know. It's almost too interesting to handle, isn't it?
I've always wanted to live on my own and pay my own bills though. But my mom would never let me, she says I don't know what I'm talking about.
How old are you Palepink? I'm moving out (I live with my parents still at the moment) on 6th September. My boyfriend and I have just bought a flat together (when I say bought, we've put down a £30,000 deposit and now have an £85,000 mortgage o_0) and I can't say I'm particualrly looking forward to paying my own bills!!
She'll have to let you one day!! I've lived away from home for over 4 years now, I moved to Uni when I was 16. Paying bills etc is not that difficult, it's not really a worry as long as you're organised.
Yea I agree, but for some people it isn't that good. I hated every minute of high school, I was so miserable. And sooooo glad to get away to Uni. I left a year early because I hated school that much!!
A little ethnocentric I don't find the idea of bills worrying, just extremely boring and a little depressing.. I'm looking forward to the rest though. The independence and the decorating! :lol: It'll be the first time a job is entirely necessary and not just, you know, expected or whatever. My income will no longer be purely disposable
