fter hours W7 »' are you doing this 1 V weekend? Do you want to go to a movie Friday night? 1 wish I could, but I lave to work. For most teens, its a familiar scenario. Many Central students work part-time, whether it's or college savings or just a little extra spending noney, and more often than not, squeezing that art-time job into one's daily routine can cause onflict. I try to organize my life around work, ut sometimes it's hard, commented Anita ■luescr. Working at a fast food place, in a clothing tore, or at an animal hospital can all be the tern of failing classes and loss of sleep. Bryant Arnold stated, It's hard, if not impossible, to ;et school work done. I'm always sleeping in my pare time and I barely stay awake during chool. Kevin Wellman added, “I would say it s very stressful. For example: You're involved in an after school practice for one sport or another, go to work, stay up doing homework, and then have to wake up for morning practice. You lose quite a bit of sleep, along with rattling your nerves. The problem worsens as people attempting to maintain a decent G.P.A. find it hard to wake up on time. Arnold said, My job takes almost all of my time, but I try the best I can to make time for school. Finding free time when one has a job can be difficult, if not impossible. So when the day off finally comes, students try to make it as en- joyable as possible. Theresa Getting remarked, While I'm at work there is no time to relax so when I get home I take my clothes off and ease into the bath tub. Exercising, reading a book or listening to music, arc some ways to relieve the pressure. Hueser continued, To clear my head after work, I go outside and get some fresh air. . . no matter how cold it is. :eline the cat, a patient at the Kimberly Crest Veterinary lospital. rests assured as Pam Atkinson's able hands assist thy LaFond in the removal of bandages.

Taking time out to relax from the job and it's pressures is mandatory in order to keep a positive attitude about the work itself. As Ar- nold explained, The best way to relieve stress is to sleep. It will make you much happier.” Yet, problems seem to magically disappear as soon as an important piece of paper comes in hand — the paycheck. Wellman said, I work mainly to save a little money for college and maybe a few extra spending dollars. But usual- ly, the temptation to spend, spend, SPEND, hits and the money is gone not long after it ar- rives. Mike Richards stated,” I don't spend it right away, but by the time the next check comes I'm usually in need of money. When people talk of jobs they seem to point out the bad, but when it comes right down to it, not everyone thinks that they are all that bad. As Jennie Weston said, I really enjoy my job, and that outweighs all the problems I have with it. Jobs 19
