Wisely used time means extra bucks TJ or some students, going to school was a full-time job. For others, when the school day ended, their work day did not. They left Concordia and headed off in many directions for several more hours of prof- itable activity. Although some students worked only a few hours a week, there were some who worked as many as thirty. Why did they work? The income re- ceived seemed to be the main reason for most. Some needed a job for spending money or to buy clothes, some were sav- ing for colleges, some were paying their Concordia tuition, some were buying a car and needed money for payments, gas and insurance. Students said they received other re- wards too. Sophomore Steve Horine indi- cated he worked for business exper- ience and exercise on his newspaper route. I get to experience a good work- ing environment, said sophomore Scott Bruick of his job at Three Kings Restau- rant. Junior Kathy Knepper enjoyed working with the public since it will help in the career I have chosen (nursing). This was confirmed by another student who commented, You meet a lot of peo- ple and start to get used to the working world. Students held a variety of jobs: cook, furniture stripper, waitress, cashier, stockboy, salesperson, paper carrier, babysitter, groundskeeper, usher, car- ryout clerk. Most enjoyed their jobs in spite of a few drawbacks like not having enough time for school work or socializ- ing with friends at times. As a recommendation for students who are looking for a job, senior Curt Meyer suggested, Get a job that has lots of fun people to work with. Junior Adele Mor- rison, who worked at St. Anne ' s Nursing Home, added, Try to find something half-way enjoyable or you ' ll hate it and it will be drudgery. Working at the Holiday Theater, junior Grote sells refreshments. Guarding Santa, senior Mary Carlson works be- fore Christmas at Glenbrook Square. Bagging groceries, junior Thomas Starks spends his after school hours working at Rogers. 12 student jobs
