Yeah, I'm looking forward to it! It's only for Christmas but it's better than nothing eh.

MuffinPaula November 5th, 2011 5:04 PM

Christmas is going to be the same for me... Nothing different.

Charizard★ November 5th, 2011 5:09 PM

I'm currently jobless. Not that I'm looking for one, I'm just more focused on studying right now. And I'm not in need of money currently, altho, I might get a job over Winter break.

GGJ November 5th, 2011 5:13 PM

I'm jobless also....... but that is because I'm not legal working age.

MuffinPaula November 5th, 2011 5:15 PM

I'm too young to work..Maybe in a few years

cacturne4512 November 5th, 2011 7:22 PM

No job yet due to the fact I just reached legal working age.

Alley Cat November 5th, 2011 7:29 PM

I want a job, and I think that it will be easier to get one when I get out of HS and my JC classes allow for a more flexible schedule.

Livewire November 5th, 2011 11:35 PM

Dead for 4 hours... smh.

I have a great job and I love it.

Netto Azure November 5th, 2011 11:40 PM

I should find a job lolz. But argh scheduling.

Snivy063 November 6th, 2011 12:15 AM

I actually want a job, so I can earn my own money and buy whatever I want, but yeah, my main problem is my age. :'x .. I mean they wouldn't hire someone like me. XD

Truality November 6th, 2011 12:16 AM

I'm a clerk in a netcafe store... and my payload is almost the exact amount of my expenses.

Vampire://Krimm November 6th, 2011 12:43 AM

I work for my school district's technology department as a paid intern. It's a great job and I learn a lot :D Except my wages barely pay for the gas that it takes for me to drive to all of the different schools :D

Snivy063 November 6th, 2011 1:15 AM

I wanna go to college so bad, well I wanna work as a working student for the school. :'3

Legendary Silke November 6th, 2011 5:10 AM

I think I'll get a part-time job while in the middle of my gap period... but that wouldn't be called a gap period, then?

But it would mean disposable income, and work experience... Actually, I already have landed a job. The only thing needed for me right now is to wait.

Snivy063 November 6th, 2011 5:14 AM

Although they usually hire people who has experience than those who doesn't have, it's kind of a bit unfair. :'x

That's ageism. Workplaces are discriminating against people who don't have a lot of/no experience and favor people who have experience instead.

Snivy063 November 6th, 2011 6:29 AM

Yes, very very unfair, but there are also some places who likes those who doesn't have any experience than those who have experience, it's just a will of luck if you get accepted. :'x

Sweet Candace November 6th, 2011 7:21 AM

Ageism can go both ways. Workplaces can also discriminate against people of old age who maybe have too much experience.

Oryx November 6th, 2011 7:24 AM

That's not ageism, it's reasonable to judge who to hire based on experience. Age != experience. One of my good friends had 3 jobs at once at 16, and I haven't even had that many now that I'm 19. Saying someone should ignore your experience and hire you because otherwise it's discrimination is kind of looking for a free ride, there are lots of jobs that don't need experience ;x

Tyewatson November 6th, 2011 7:28 AM

Well my thread just got locked.. -_- Why do the rules have to be so difficult?

Anyways, I hope you guys don't mind if I have some people talking through these threads. We will have our own mini discussion seeing as the thread I made got locked! :)

Shining Raichu November 6th, 2011 7:29 AM

Ageism is when they hire younger people because they're cheaper lol

Lmao, I'm not familiar with the word so .. D':

Hmm, Tyewatson, you should definitely check out the rules first before posting. So it won't happen again! ^^

Oryx November 6th, 2011 7:36 AM

Ageism means discriminating against someone just because of their age. Hiring someone with more experience isn't ageism because you can be experienced and young, or inexperienced and old, lol.

Snivy063 November 6th, 2011 7:39 AM

Got it now, and yes what you said is true, laughed at the last part. XD

Oryx November 6th, 2011 7:40 AM

I know a 40 year old who's never had a job in her life and is just now learning to drive :x
