but we have so many loving employees that we only get to work about 8 hours a week. i work on the 4th and 5th this week... thats it till next payday.

I have a job interview today

[Caribou]

I kind of wish I had a job but I'm not in biking/walking distance from anywhere

I take the subway or bus to my job.

Put half of your earnings into a savings, and the other half you can go crazy with

I don't have much to play around with, considering I only have an additional $400 in my savings account, so that means I'll have about 1100-1300 in total in my account after I finish working in mid-August. When I have at least $5000, I am planning on putting a few hundred into a commodity like oil if the time is right.

[XR-7]

I don't really have a plan for investment although I probably should.  I want a checking account but I first need a valid reason for my parents to consider it, who want me to have a savings account (I don't really get the point of it...)

Immediately when I pick up a job, my parents are going to put me on insurance coverage so I can drive to and from work when I'm able to with the whole "vehicle shortage" problem we're dealing with.  Every penny I make is going to be scraped together to get a reliable car that I can use full time.  Then we'll see how things go from there.

[Tokerovin]

Congrats and good luck buddy.

[Candy Apple]

i used to work at a staples center last summer

havent done anything this summer though, besides yardwork for neighbors

[carolcat]

i'd love to get a summer job, but i'd really only have one month to work because i go to wisconsin to see my grandma every summer. my mom tells me that no one would really be interested in hiring someone who can only work there for a month.

if i could, i would've applied to work at the acrylic plant that my dad works at, but they can't employ anyone under 18 due to the heavy machinery there :(

[Crøwn]

I enjoyed my first job for the first couple days, been at it for 6 months now and I am no longer having fun, i'll say that much.
