What happened to that program in school where the kids learn how to interview and get one day a month to go to work and get class credit?
I know in the 9th grade, they would load us into a bus and take us to the mall. We would have had to select a store, call ahead and make arrange to offer them free work for the day. Most of us loved it to get out of school and be at the mall, but also it was cool to go back behind racks at the stores. Oh, and eating at the food court while those ‘suckers’ were eating school lunch was kinda cool too, LOL! I remember I went one year to a shoe store and learned how to die shoes to match prom dresses. That was to prepare us for when we got an AFTERSCHOOL job. And assume also for when we graduate whatever school we completed?
So anyway, we had mock interviews and stuff.
I’m sad to guess they don’t do that anymore? And I’m not ancient, this was just in the late 80’s.
Many did pretty good when it came to paying their bills first but some ran out of money fast. lol I rememer one had to sell his car because he couldn't pay his rent or daycare bill.
