I'm going on 18, never had a job yet. A Chipotle just opened up in my area paying a good amount of money, at least for a young feller like me. Was thinking of applying. I think I'll pass on that. This is disgusting. People will start taking their business elsewhere. Let's hurt their wallet.
Don't waste your youth wage slaving ubless you NEED to. There's some kids who need the work just to eat, but if you can go without, do it.
Train your body and your mind, use youth and time as an advantage, make yourself the strongest and smartest person you can be.
However..
If you're desperate for work or money, there's trades where you can start training tomorrow and get paid for it. And you'll be making 10x as much as anyone at Chipotle when you're done and on the job. Just google it.
I recommend every kid have a job working for the general public. It's an important. skill and valuable piece of education. My kid is working and saving for a niche trade school.
my first job was as a dishwasher. After that a car wash. Did whatever I could to get through college and into professional school where I graduated magna cum laude.
This guy is so right (axrevolutionai). I could've saved myself a lot of heartache if I learned a trade.
You want to know what happened? After working restaurants and living like shit, I had to learn a trade anyways! Now instead of learning it in a nice formal school environment, I got it from some asshole that worked me like a dog and tried to avoid paying me every paycheck. Think my corporate landlord cared? Nope.
It wasn't until I started my own business that I started moving up the ladder, and making awesome money. After running someone elses business, you realize how easy it is to do it yourself. Its perfecting the skill which takes time. This time can be shortened if you go to a trade school first. Get some marketable skill and soak up any business or management classes along the way. Dead serious.
If you love the arts, avoid art school too. If you get a job that makes good money, you can take that money and spend it on equipment you like for your hobbies - art, music, martial arts, sports, etc. You wont have to beg people for money, and you can afford higher quality equipment, and even pay the freelance teachers when they are outside of school. Now that's supporting the Arts!
Seriously kid, do yourself a favor and get a trade that everyone needs. For example, if you like Florida, and want to move there, maybe learn HVAC. People rich and poor need AC in Florida and they'll pay the money for it. Especially companies in emergencies. Maybe one day you build your own business and provide an opportunity to others, and make even more money.
Start thinking bigger like that and you can really enjoy your 20s. Mine was fucked up, and full of unecessary drama. I'd kill for a redo.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm pretty passionate about people not falling down the same hard road as me.
