Saw help wanted signs in Pizza Hut and Now Hiring signs at Wal Mart today-a small city in Down East Maine.
I think having a job is important for a teen to learn to manage money, etc. There are help wanted signs where we live, too. But, I guess there are more people applying for the jobs than there are jobs. Plus, most companies are looking for permanent employees - not seasonal.
That’s OK, though. It’s all worked out in the end - my son studied hard and received a nice merit scholarship that is more than he would’ve ever earned at a summer job, anyway. He’s headed off to college and hoping to get a paying job there.
