It will Hi eventually eat every teenager. but a few of us have eluded it and want to forever. Alvin Stocksick hasn't even seen the beast yet. I’m not beginning any kind of job until my parents kick me out of the house. Until then. I'm living a life of fiestas and siestas. Those who choose to take part in the stressful combination of work and school claim to suffer on weekends. Work stinks. Every Monday my friends are at school telling me what a good time they had at parties or movies. I never have any stories to tell, said Mark Tomishima with a smile. Those students who choose not to work lose the benefit that comes in the form of a dollar sign. Yes, those without jobs seem to also be those without money. It's not natural for teenagers to work, yet they must have money. This forces students to either mooch off of their parents, or to compromise their values and work. “I chose not to work. It sucks though because I have to wear some of the same clothes within a month. stated Jen Staker. One thing that students can do to ease the tension of the situation is to find a job that they like. A variety of jobs are available to teenagers, and most of these jobs are at places that teens deal with everyday. Alan Park- er works at Mr. Magoo's pizza par- lor and says this of his job; ‘T work at a pizza parlor, and a lot of people that I know, and don't know come in. Jobs can have an effect on a stu- dents' academic career. Grades can cause problems with mom and dad, and that's the last thing a teenager needs. I got a job at 'Marshalls,' and all my grades went down. I had to quit, noted Kelly Linder. The choice is yours. You can get a job and deal with problems, or live a life of thrift, by Lance Perdue (----------------X Jobs
