Johanna’s Answer

Hi Leo - When I was in high school, I got a retail job that allowed me to work on one weekend day and a few hours after school on a few days. It was helpful for me because it gave me extra money, but I did also have to keep my eye on my school work and make sure I still had time to get it done. In the end, although I do nothing remotely close to retail work now, it still gave me valuable experience learning how businesses work, practicing math (calculating change), interacting with customers, prioritizing my school work, and meeting other adults who would later become references for future jobs. I recommend asking around local businesses if you'd like something like that. You might also check in with a local library to see if they need administrative help. Just keep in mind that you may need to get a valid work permit if you're younger than 18. If none of that works out, you could also consider babysitting or dogwalking for your neighbors. Even if the job you get isn't something you actually think you'd like to do in the future, it can still be a valuable experience. Good luck!

Leo, I had a job when I was a Jr. in highschool and it was in a retail store. I grew up in a relatively small town and the retail store I worked at was the biggest store in town it was a department store so like a TJMax or Target but no food items. Women's clothing is where I first began and I was so excited to learn everything I could. It wasn't long before I was dressing the windows back when they had mannequin. I loved doing them and there were a lot of them. So I would have the keys to the store and after hours on weekends mostly I did the most fun and creative displays with the women's and children's apparel then I was task to do the men's windows which the men didn't think I could do but atlas they were happy with the results. Before long I was consulting the owner on buying merchandise for the store his request, then he let me make buying choices on my own. I am telling you this because every job had so many possibilities and it is truly you additude and how much your willing to put into it to make it fun and for filling. I am an interior designer many years and lately I began working for a large furniture chain and they send me all over the country to decorate and display there merchandise so it has come full circle. So what ever job you are doing make it fun be curious and smile and work hard and you will have a happy life spent.

Ursula’s Answer

I know that in high school a lot of students work in fast food. I did a lot of babysitting and actually made some pretty good money on that. If you enjoy dog walking and you develop a reputation for taking good care of the dogs in your charge and you're reliable there are a lot of people who are looking for someone. My sister was extremely talented and would knit one of a kind sweaters which earned her a tidy sum. Watch the job boards at school, the library, and community center, be willing to do those extra chores your neighbors are willing to hire you for. You never know when someone might call you out of the blue for a job because someone you worked for put in a good word for you for your dream job because they thought you were hardworking, reliable, and willing to do your best.
Thank you comment icon thanks y'all leo
