It is down to this, the most important thing a child can learn in school is spanish. That way the employer has to figure out where you are from. Either that or you start out in management.

I can’t remember the exact questions. I can’t remember if gun ownership was one of them, but it might’ve been. I should revisit those applications and post some of the questions here, if I find the chance.

Time to lower the age for Welfare and Food Stamps to 13. Get them used to living off the public teat early!!

I think having a job is important for a teen to learn to manage money, etc. There are help wanted signs where we live, too. But, I guess there are more people applying for the jobs than there are jobs. Plus, most companies are looking for permanent employees - not seasonal.
That’s OK, though. It’s all worked out in the end - my son studied hard and received a nice merit scholarship that is more than he would’ve ever earned at a summer job, anyway. He’s headed off to college and hoping to get a paying job there.

Maybe the kids could create themselves a job.
The sad fact is you and I can’t afford the risk of hiring anyone like that. There are too many labor laws and liability issues.............................

Not in San Antonio, Texas. Plenty of help wanted.
In California, people are fighting over Starbuck’s jobs.
