Let's face it, everybody needs money. Money being such a vital part of life, many students are forced to seek employment. For- tunately, Lexington provides am- ple opportunity for work. In fact, the majority of the stores in the center are partially manned by students. It is a rare day that one can not see several students work- ing after school. Popular places to work include Maunder’s Meat Market, Castiello’s Bakery, oO Steve's Ice Cream, Stop Shop, ERR a ee ge Re aR a Gra te” gegen gy he aa b 4 (Above) Seniors Jen Smith and Rebecca Goodwin look over the over- due books list at Cary Memorial Library.

Lexington also provides copi- ous jobs outside of the center. There are many malls and busi- ness districts in the area. Whether it be at a fast food restaurant, a department store, or in an office, there are plenty of jobs for stu- dents. The privilege of driving a car also provides students with the mobility to hold down their jobs. Many students find it hard to balance both work and school, while others cite low pay as a problem. However, for those who keep trying, the opportunities for advancement are readily avail- able, and the money they earn does not hurt either. Having a job is a valuable ex- perience for a student. The task forces the student to be responsi- ble and to spend his time wisely. The work experience can also of- ten be useful when seeking future employment. C8SS cee eee ass ee ee
