For example, if you plan on being a chef, it’s good to be Jackie Rowe shows patience trying to serve a customer while working at McDonalds. working in a restaurant learning the ropes. Or if you like auto mechan- ics, it's best to be a gas station attendent for a while. It also looks good on a resume' if you've had some experience in the field. Good times are often spent work- ing, especially when kids you're own age are also working. You learn cooperation, courtesy, and politeness when you have a job. Many stu- dents don’t look at a job as an ex- perience, just a way to make some money. Working is a good way to find out your interests for a later, more permanant job. Many students are glad they’ve had the experience of working, because they’ve found that they didn’t like a certain job that they thought they would. So, next time you walk into a store or shop and you see one of your friends working, don't feel sor- ry for them at all.

The Working Class ►any students go home after a long day at school. To a lot of other students, school is just one part of their day, the other part is spent work- ing. Students work for various reasons. One of the most popular reasons is the extra spending money. It’s always nice to earn some money during the week, so when the weekend comes around, you have the money to go out and have a good time. Especially for one guy whose date loves to go out to din- ner every Friday night at the Fireside or some other expensive restaurant. Another use for the extra cash is to own a car. It costs money to maintain the Jaguar or even the V.W., and it’s nice to have your own money for the gas. A reason why a student might work is to continue to be a student in a Col- lege or University. Many students find themselves out of high school and out of money. As you’ll find out, not all colleges give you a free ride. Many students find themselves turning to after school or summer jobs to help themselves out. And then there’s the student who works because he or she has noth- ing else to do, and it’s a good chance to meet new people. It would seem like more fun to work 28 Student Life
