Should I get a job?

Should I get a job for the summer? I'm trying to save up to buy a car, but any job(part time) I get right now will only score me about $800 for the summer :( However, if I get a full time(8/5) job, I'll get about $1500 for the whole summer(about $200 a week)... I'll obviously have to work less when school starts in september, so I'll get paid even less...

Ever since I found out that "someone"(you all know who, if not just look at my "the 'life sucks' thread" thread) has a boyfriend, I have absolutely nothing planned for this summer... I don't really want to work... working sucks, but I don't want to sit at home all day and do nothing... That sucks too :(

Should I get a job, or should I just wait until next summer?

There's only really one place I can get a job at right now(if they're even accepting new people), 'cause I'm only 14, and every body is looking for >=15.. Next summer I'll almost be 16 and will probably be able to find a better job, easier....

Well, how you feeling right now? If its really bad, I'd take it easy...go call up some friends and see some movies or something (The Fast and the Furious :D). Relax...soon you'll start talking to her again. Until then, just keep it off your mind and concentrate on the better aspects of life.

And being 15 does have advantages. :) I'm making $120 a day doing web/ASP for Inco Ltd. And, $120 a day is pocket change to them so I don't do much...

I'm gonna be loaded! :D

Bastard!:D

I'm 20, and I have to put up with making $64 +/- a day. Of course, all I do is sort files and open mail, but it still sucks.

Get a job you lazy bastard!!;) :D

Think of it this way:

1) How much do you want a car? And how good do you want it too be?
2) What else will you be doing?
3) Chicks are easy to talk to at work??;)
4) Are you bored?

If you do get a car you can then run over the boyfriend!! MAke sure you get a bull bar.:p

Ohh yeah...if it wasn't obvious, the chinese characters in my picture attachment translate into "Mafia". But according to Altavista, it translates into "evil behind-the-scenes manipulator party" :rolleyes: :D

And in case it wasn't obvious, again, the person in the picture is me...

What sort of a job are you talking about Dennis? Does it involve saying "Do you want fries with that?". Don't do it, the uniform looks absolutely disgusting.

Whose the guy everyone is taking exception to. Quick thought. Send nukem his address. There is probably still a car full of him and his mates wandering around the US searching for Virgina.

Car is just waste of money!

Why would you want to get a car with the money that you get by doing the job....Get you mom or dad's car....

I am also 15 and I worked in a socks making factory for 3 days, got fired after that:mad: I was expecting to work for the whole 2 months and upgrade my computer, and visit to my homeland in the next summer.
I was getting 7.80/h and the job was 8h/day ... The job really sucked but I needed the money!

Dennis, if you want a girl either get a job or alot of leather. See the 'Where did you meet' thread.

Ideally get a job that involves leather !

Re: Should I get a job?

YES;)
Jul 19th, 2001, 05:38 PM

What else could I spend the money on?

I could save it, but for what? I want a car...

I'm taking into consideration that suggestion about leather...... Hmmmmmm... leather is good....... But I would prefer something with a higher pay...

I guess its just useful to know that you've got it there - you can't tell me that there is *nothing* that you are going to want in the next year that you can't afford right now!

How long until you can drive?

BTW I don't think that Paul & Mike's the dressing-in-leather-and-going-out-at-night all that its cracked up to be ;) - just look at Batman . . . (still stuck with boy wonder :p )
Jul 19th, 2001, 06:15 PM

about 7 months until I can drive... but I want a really expensive car, so I need to start saving soon :eek:

You save for some shares or a property or something like that dennis.

But cars are good fun. Too some there not that important and who cares but too others it does matter especially young tennagers!!!!

Blame society for making them status symbols!

I was a rarity i baught it for $5000 sold it for $6000 bullyah!!!

Never happen again.

Great, Dennis on the roads in the states and Parksie on our roads. Think I'll invest in one of those sumo suits you see in pubs, just in case. No-one is safe !
