A Job

Hello everybody,

I recently have gotten a part time job, and it's kind of a big deal because it's my very first job ever. I was debating over weather or not I should do this blog post, but I figured that a lot of you are around my age and may be looking into getting a part time job yourself. At the end of the day if at least one person benefits from this then I'm happy.

Anyway, I am still currently in my secondary schooling years and so I was worried about weather or not I could balance school with work. I haven't started many shifts, but I chose to only work two days a week. It is proving to not be as fun as I anticipated it to be, but hey it's a lot better than a lot of the jobs out there. I never knew how hard it was to work a till, so I have a lot of respect for those who have to do things like that everyday. I thought I would create a little pro's and con's list of getting a job whilst still in school.

Pro's 

-New experiences
-You no longer have to ask other people for money e.g. parents ext.
-You could save up for a big purchase like a car or save up for Uni
- Meet new people

Con's 

-You may have to sacrifice going out with your friends because of work
-You have to think more carefully about managing your time
-Your grades might be affected but only if you don't manage your time properly.

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while and also that this post is a little short. But I thought I would update you on a piece of my life that is very exciting and new, as I have never experienced anything like it. Do you currently have anything exciting or new happening in your life at the moment, or are you just experiencing some mundane moments? Leave your stories in the comment section below and I will be sure to read them!
