    I got my first job! :D *updated*

    I'm finally making my own money. Yesterday, my mom sent me this online job application for XXX They have tons of areas to go into but at 15 years old I'm pretty limited. I was hesitant at first to apply but I really wanted a job so I can make my own money and spend it on WHATEVER I WANT. So I filled it out and today my parents took me to a job fair at the XXX. There were tables on all the areas you could apply for. Since I'm limited, I chose XXX. I could have chosen food service or admission but I chose XXX I took a basic math test, like addition and subtraction of change and stuff. I got 100% on that I think and then I went in for the interview. I was really nervous and I said one really stupid thing but the guy hired me on the spot. So now I have a job.

    I plan on working my way up to working in the XXX. When I am 18 I am going to apply for an internship there. I am in the FFA at school so hopefully that boosts my chances tremendously.

    Just had to share. I am excited. I get minimum wage but that's okay. It's still money, right?

    How exciting! I envy the choices that young people have today. My first job at age 16 was as a sales clerk at Gimbel's dept. store and I made a whopping $1.25 an hour, $.10 more than minimum wage at that time. You're gonna have lots of fun and make money at it. Cool!
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Congrats! It can suck at times, but it's money, right?!

    Anyway, I freaked for a second because I thought you were over by me because I pass Six Flags every time I go up to my barn, but then I remembered there are a couple of Six Flags around the country.

    Don't spend it all in one place. Save some! Do I sound like an old fogey or what?

    I love Great Adventure! Have fun! My first job was babysitting for 50c an hour-but I made enough money to buy my own record albums (you know what they are? ) and teen magazines! It made me feel really good! How great if you could work at the Safari Park! That's where I'd want to be! Congratulations!
