- If You Want It — You Gotta Pay the Price It’s That Ugly Four Letter Word — Work If you want it you have to work for it. You want money and your parents shudder when you so much as whisper the word. What to do? Get a job! Whether it was chasing chil- dren, or service with a smile, many students had after school jobs. Of course, certain jobs were better than others. Some babysat, others had seasonal employment like mowing lawns. Katherine Hinson, Aundrea Downs and oth- ers worked at Day Care after school. Mark Brown and Gil Chason had Saturday hard- ware jobs. Was a little extra cash worth a Friday night of babysitting or getting up at ridiculous hours on Saturday mornings? Could you stand sacrificing the soaps for that after school job? When would you find time for friends, sports or homework? Well ... Those new Guess jeans and sweater were calling you. You had to have a new dress for the dance, and Mom wouldn’t hand over the credit card, plus gas money was at a crucial low. It was worth it when the pay- check was cashed. But there were other benefits of working. Maybe you met a lot of people, a great new guy or girl or maybe you gained experience in the “real world.” Since you were working and had the money for all the things you wanted, when were you sup- posed to go buy them? Well, we could make time for that. A va- cation maybe? A part-time job means big bucks for Clay Tullos, who spends his afternoons and Sat- urdays at Crouch’s doing a variety of jobs including inventory. Jamey Worrell uses a Saturday afternoon lull at the cash register to price items at Bradley’s IGA in Chattahoochee. Jobs
