Just applied for my first job ever.

@shakenama and @cumeater: I actually worked when I was 16, and I worked hard, got compliments from what I did, and also worked very long hours which I wasn't suppose to do. Someone mentioned to me about child labor laws.

But I had difficulty getting a job as an adult, and after a while I sort of gave up. Though eventually I still got a job just cause someone I knew casually asked me if I could work with him. Not saying this is the case with your son in law,just saying things aren't so black and white.

I want to point out something that also goes beyond the black and white. Be careful of the easy formula, job = good, no job = bad. Make sure you are respected at your job. I actually once read in a psychology book that they did a study in which people who didn't work as teenagers tended to be more succesful as adults than those who had a job, and this goes against the convention, as we think work teaches us responsibility and hard work and I'm not sure why that is. But If you feel being pushed around either you demand to be respected and be so or quit.

One more thing, there has been, in the past, some strange prank phone calls in fast foods of someone claiming to be an authority on the phone and causing trouble major trouble. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip_search_phone_call_scam

Do not be a drone. If someone tells you to do something strange or creepy, either by phone or of a person there of high rank you needn't follow them.

Personally I think it's good you're trying to get a job, but always remember to respect yourself and respect others, take no abuse from coworkers, from customers, from anyone.

@kingfish2: I need something to do all summer.

@fluteacorn: And making money.

@kingfish2: That too

@fluteacorn: I am sorry after checking your groups I can see why your mom would worry about you walking alone hope you get the job

@fluteacorn: yes I see you have seizures I did not realize that before I asked if she was a control freak would you like to PM me?

@Polarbare99: Sure

@FurryFace: Thanks. It is 5 minutes (walking) from my house, so my mom is okay with it too.

@fluteacorn: thats not bad no buses and stuff traveling to get there

@FurryFace: Exactly.

@Bootsiebaby: Individual Retirement Account is a good thing

@NeloAngelo: I'm still in high school.

@fluteacorn: well u better pass or its back to maccy d's after

@NeloAngelo: I am aware of that. I want to be a doctor but I need money for college, so I don't have a ton of student loans to pay off or whatever. I still will though.

@Dumbbutfunctional: With being in high school, I'll have less hours than an adult.
