n Comes the InCome n order to finance what he belives to be the ‘“‘expensive”’ life, today’s teenager finds it necessary to work. So, he may look for employment in an infinite num- ber of places, most commonly in the mall, at fast food restaurants, at grocery stores, or at ice cream parlors. Most of his money is saved for the “‘perfect’’ car, college, or is spent on clothes and the weekend. Wages range from $2.10 an hour for waiting tables oe e Photo by Denise Ballance Chris Maclauchlin buses tables at Bill’s Seafood. Tris h Kalns shows a shoe to a customer at Hofheimers.

Photo by Denise Ballance WORKING FOR MONEY to $4.50 an hour, with many students mak- ing “time and a half” on Sundays. Although the teen will often insist the reason for working is the money, admittedly having a job during high school will prove beneficial in the future. By holding a job successfully, he is establishing a pattern that may get him ahead even in years after his financially difficult teens.
