I got my first job when I was 15 years old in Florida. It was an after school job at an ice cream store and I worked there for one year...
I did that so I could save money to buy a car.
I worked almost every week-end and 2 or 3 days a week so I had to do all my homework on my 2 days off and all my studying.
I didn’t get to see my friends very much!
Once I turned 16 and I bought a car, I could work a little further away from home, and so I got a job at the mall in a shoe store. I worked there for about 2 years every week-end, probably 20 hours a week.
So I chose to do that instead of doing sports because I had to pay for my car every month.
Then, when I was a Senior in high school, I got a better job at a jewelry store as a sales person and I was able to earn a commission so I made more money.
This meant I didn’t have to work as much. I was able to do a few sports and I enjoyed my senior year a little bit more since I made more money.
I just worked on the weekends and maybe one day a week.
And when I graduated and I went to college, for most of my 4 years there, I worked as a waitress, which is a pretty hard job, pretty exhausting, but I enjoyed it : it allowed me to pay for my apartment because I got a lot more money with the tips I made.
And then I graduated. Yeah
