I finally started my new job on Saturday. It's at a local tourist attraction, and although I was a bit nervous at first; it's actually been incredibly easy so far. I definitely think I made the right choice in switching over from fast food.

Awesome! my plan for my first job is just something where I don't have to work late, I hate staying up all night! I also hope to eventually get enough money to get a car and move to Australia, I'll worry about college when I move there, lol.

I don't envy people who work at fastfood chains. It's a very exploitative workplace from what I've heart.

Yeah, it's not the greatest. The management treated us OK; but there's only so much they could do when the work just fundamentally sucked. It was a very popular chain, so people were always lined up, and it was just really exhausting always having to be firing on all cylinders for 6+ hours straight, especially right after school. During that time, my schedule was often; wake up at 6AM, start school at 7:50; get out of school at 3:20, get home at 3:35, then have about 45 minutes to rest before going to work at 4:15 and working until I got off at 10. Rinse and repeat for 3/4 days out of the week plus usually the weekend. Now I only have to work on the weekends, and since it closes at 4:30; no night shifts! I might not be making nearly as much as I was, but it's worth it to actually be able to have a life again.

But I guess you're at least not dependant on tips?

Meh, I would've rather had the tips; I've heard of people making $150+ on a busy night working for tips in proper resturants; meanwhile that was often my entire pay for the week.

You mean, after 8:00 am or pm? :sneaky:

Since I'm a European reading that time: it's clearly 8 in the morning! After all, the person reading it determines what time is used if the 24hour clock isn't used :fufu:
What a lazy vaporeon, sleeping all day! :wink:

I never had any jobs during high school, but did start working during college... or an attempt at college anyway lol 😅

I don't do school either! Haven't done since 2017 :sneaky:

Something I've learned in all my time on this rock, is that learning is fun, it's just that it has to be a subject that a person is actually interested in for it to be so. Anything more is just boring memorization lol.

I can't wait until I finish High School and get out of the boring town I'm in. University sounds so exciting and interesting compared to spending sitting in a chair for 6+ hours a day. You can actually study what interests you, and you have more freedom because you're no longer a minor and universities treat you like actual adults instead of having to chaperone you around for every little thing.
