Senior Class of ' 89 Work for a living J obs. Who needs them? After putting in a long, tedious 8 hours of school, why would seniors come home, then go to work putting approximately 5 hours a day, 30 hours a week at work? To put it in plain simple English, MONEY! It goes without saying, money makes the world go round. For most Seniors that ' s the case with having to pay for senior fees, college applications, ranging from $30 to $50, class rings, car payments, and insur- ance. What it all adds up to is major bib bucks. My parents aren ' t stingy, but this year the cost got to be so much that I didn ' t feel comfortable asking them for money, said an anonymous senior. Even though minimum wage isn ' t much it ' s something, Jordan Moore said, It stinks! I ' m going to ask for a raise soon! And that ' ll be — Jordan Moore works al Baskin Rob- bins 31 Flavors after school. By Steve Bao For some, finding a job is a job itself, since every employer is looking for exper- ienced workers and being in the right place at the right time is the best asset. But since work is a necessity, the hunt continues. I ' ve been looking for a job for quite sometime now, I really need a job to help pay for all my senior expenses, not only that, but I ' ve got to pay for my own car insurance, too! said Scott Nelson, Senior. There are those who don ' t have to worry about having a job to help pay their own way. As a matter of fact they coast on through with their parents ' money paying for them. I go to night school and as of now I can ' t have a job, I ' m relying solely on my parents ' pocketbook, Sandra Nova, senior. All in all, money isn ' t the only motivation for a senior to take a job, it gives them a sense of responsibility, of being an indepen- dent young adult. What ' s the driving force, the incentive for you to get a job? For me the money! Having a job allows me to be inde- pendent and provides me with extra money needed for my senior year alone. Su- zanne Ignico At first the main reason to get a job was to make mon- ey, to pay for my car. But since I have been working I have gotten a sense of re- sponsibility. said Maria Strommer. The driving force, the in- centive for me to get a job was to show responsibility. I wanted to earn money and put it in the bank and keep it for a good cause. said Dan- ielle Kaplan.
