Did you ever have a job when you were still in school? If so, what was it?

While I was in elementary, I tried to work for money because my parents can't give me some allowance and I envy those other kids who have money to buy snacks. I tried to do some errands but I didn't succeed much. When I was in high school, I remember that I teamed up with another high school boy and we work in a furniture shop. After that we work with a house as carpenters. In my college life, I work as a security at age 17 in three different places. It's difficult but it's a learning experience for me. Have a wonderful day.

That is great for you. Having a job in summer is great. You earn that little extra for you. Do not for forget that school is your priority right now. I think I started working around the same time aswell. My first job was in a daycare as a helper. It was also in the summer month. I still had time to hangout with my friends. I earned money for the extra clothing my parents could not afford to give me. Happy lotting.

yes, I worked at ritas water ice. Good job and cheap water ice at the end of the day. I remember one time I tried to turn on this ice cream maker and it wouldn't stop. The other workers didnt notice until I yelled for help! I didnt even get fired! The most funnest moment ever. We tried to stop it with pans and we even gave out ice cream for 1.00 each a large. My boss got mad at me but he understood it wasn't my fault. I was just doing my job.:)

Hello When I was at school I used to do a paper round before and after school that paid me enough money so I didn't need to ask my parents. It was nice as it was so quiet in the early mornings but not so much fun having to get at 6am when we on school holidays! I also babysat for a few neighbours and that helped too but it was fun as I always got to play with all the toys as well as the kids

when i was in my fourth year in college, financial matters was so difficult at those times because my parents send the three of us college...so i have to find a way in helping them by working to have money of my own and never asked for them... i was a working student for two months and was glad to received a salary of my own though it was not that high, but still im proud of it... it only lasted for two months because i was doing my thesis and time was so demanding.

yea,i had a McJob at 15.then later i worked on the military base.
um..the only thing i really learned on that job is exactly how impatient people can be.i didn't work so much for myself at the time,but to help my dad out because he got laid off from his job.

teens can work here,but you have to get a permit from the school,which is ridiculous,it should be the parent's decision only.

When I was 17 I had a job my senior year as a waitress. It lasted four days and I was annoyed at the waitresses and quit plus the fact that I was not able to do my homework as I wished too. I was used to going to bed early so going to bed later effected me. Though even before I did my homework in the morning at school in the cafeteria. It was just common for me to do it then, or before the teacher started teaching in a class or classes.

In any case, I have had jobs since then, at one point I had two jobs at the same time. As for funny experiences I can't think of any though I know I've had a few at one job.

I had several jobs while I was still in school. I began by babysitting when I was 14, and when I was 16 got a part time job at McDonald's. From there, I also worked at a grocery store, and then another fast food place.
I can't really say that I gained a lot of work experience, but I did learn a lot of responsibility, and found out what it was like to earn my own money. I think it made me more careful of money since I found out what I had to do to get it!
I did enjoy my job at McDonald's, since I worked with two friends. We would sing songs and tell jokes while we worked, which certainly made the time go by!

I did have a job while I was in school. At one time I had two part time jobs and went to high school, that is until my grades started dropping and my mother made me quit one of the two part time jobs. It was good money and very rewarding for a few months though. I learned a lot in my younger working years that help me today. My first job was being a waitress at a small sandwhich shop/ice cream restaurant. I was 15 then. I learned a lot of people skills and how to work with others as a team. When I first started I was very shy; however, by the time they closed up shop, I had moved up to a shift supervisor. It was a great place to work with regulars that came once a week to once a day. The steak and cheese sub there was the best around! Now, even 10 years later, I still think about that place.

hi there KaraKATAD,

actually, im also a student and currently studying. I also live in a country where teens having a job/summer job is kinda weird or not normal but in spite that I really want to have one just to earn some money during summer but its really hard to find one since most places require someone to be at least 18 or so. That's why I really haven't got the chance to even try having a job but I would really won't pass an opportunity if someone would ask me if I want one.lol
