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.
 
I should find a job lolz. But argh scheduling.
 
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
 
I'm a clerk in a netcafe store... and my payload is almost the exact amount of my expenses.
 
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
 
I wanna go to college so bad, well I wanna work as a working student for the school. :'3
 
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.
 
Although they usually hire people who has experience than those who doesn't have, it's kind of a bit unfair. :'x
 
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
 
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
 
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! :)

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! ^^
 
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.
 
Got it now, and yes what you said is true, laughed at the last part. XD
 
I know a 40 year old who's never had a job in her life and is just now learning to drive :x
