Hy, Arnel,In my country, most of the girl around 17 - 19 work as SPG or Sales Promotion Girl in shopping centre or bazzar.I don't know that kind of job make you comfort and enjoy or not, but most of girls is very enjoy that job.If you have special skill in technology, working online would be nice too for you :)

ahh,, but here in our country it is not adviceable to work if you are still in under age.. unless you are self-employed or you are hired by your relatives or whoever knows you.. but in companies, you must be in legal age.

Where do you come from Arnel_24??So since how old you are legal to work?In my country, start from 17 is legal age to have a work.Sometimes I will find many under of 17 yo that also works, yah can say child abuse, but they're really have a willing to work cause of economical factors.So here, you're not allowed to work yet right??May be you just need some refreshment to lose your bore, shopping with friend, continue study or doing something else until you have legal age to work

Hello Arnel, as you still have several weeks to reach 18, I would rather advice you to seek work which relate to what you had learn. So using this precious time, just go on searching for jobs you are interesting in and meet your demand. Or if you facing some trouble in fields you want to choose, maybe you can discuss with your course mates. Good luck and all the best!
