GAINING EXPERIENCE lwork - Carla Thrash Brring sounded the bell for driving students, time to go home and relax, right? Wrong!! For many students this meant time to go home, grab a quick snack, and rush to workg a common rou- tine for a full-time student with a part-time job. Most students claimed that the main reason for getting a job was for money. Most students spent all of their pay- checks, and if they saved any, it was very little. Entertainment and gas expenses de- ducted the greatest amount from pay- checks. Clothes and jewelry were the two main items that girls spent the most on where as guys used theirs for taking out a date. John Barge said, l spend most of the money l make at Jonquil Sporting Goods, but hope to start saving some for col- lege. Most students enjoyed their jobs because working gave them a better sense of responsibility and was good ex- perience. Christy Choyce and Joan Haley thought working at C. Edgar Shoes was fun because, we enjoy talking to cus- tomers and getting to know them. L12 New was a salesclerk at The Gin- gerbread Box at the Galleria, and said she loved working there because, l enjoy meeting new people. Fast-food restaurants were not the only places for part-time employment. Cloth- ing stores, athletic shops, and specialty shops became more popular with stu- dents seeking a part-time job. Grocery stores such as Kroger, Big Star, and Food Giant were major employers of high school boys and most of the time offered more than minimum wage to its employ- ees. Working had a big impact on school and often caused many conflicts. Most students agreed that it was difficult to have both a part-time job and maintain good grades in school while working 72 to 20 hours a week. A few worked as many as 35 hours a week. Amy Ruth was one of these, and she claimed working this of- ten caused a decline in homework, fewer hours of sleep at night, and fewer social activities. Sacrifice was the key word in having a part-time job while still in school. Was it really worth it? Most students felt it was because it gave them an opportunity to earn some extra money on their own. 26' Work Cultivating her floral arrangement talents, Vanessa Fowler works at Charlene's Flower Shop at the Galleria.
