Even though I am so young, I still would like some extra cash here and there... My parent's want me to learn how to earn money and respect what I have, so they don't give me any, or buy me anything! Food of course is an exception because well, thats a little harsh on a 12 year old... For my community anyway... It's just that, besides babysitting, job options are very limited for people my age! It's much harder for us because there are usually age restrictions and our resume's have to be at least a little interesting. We have to have some "experience". How do we gain experience to get a job if no one will give us any oppertunities! I recently applied for a job at a clothing store and got rejected. Later on in my life I wouldnt mind getting involved in retail so I think that starting young is a better way of getting where I want to go in life. Apparently, babysitting is what I can do. I love kids really I do but I want more in life than to become a nanny. I dont understand how we're expected to get anywhere in life if we aren't given a hand here or there... I want to know what everyone else thinks? Am I just too young to step into the world and try something new, that could possibly be my future??? -Isis « return.
