With college expenses rising, students realize that it ' s about time to T ■ ■ getajob V I I Iv work we go Money, money, money. You think you can get by without it until necessity hits you like a locomotive from Wells Fargo. Take me for example. I thought it would be a simple matter to live with no money; I wouldn ' t eat out ever, 1 wouldn ' t buy any tapes, I wouldn ' t buy any clothes, and never, ever would 1 call my girifriend. After eating at Bongo or Li Burrim almost even ' other night, doubling my tape collection, a couple new sweaters and jeans, and a $ 16358 phone bill, I was tied up and naked on the proverbial train tracks. Of course none of this was my fault; I mean, how was I to know that Amoeba had such a large jazz section? Or that twent ' hours on the line to Phoenix was so expensive? • Rather than whining (or giving up my biweekly falafel plate and audio cassette), I decided to suck it in and got a job at a local, much-frequented, semi-famous pizza joint which, for libel reasons, will remain nameless. Fortunately for me, I chose the most messy, exhausting job in recorded history - a pizza delivery walker, I learned what it means to come home with legs dead from twenty consecutive trips to the I-House and Unit III. 1 discovered a new cologne from topping countless pies (try eau de pineapple, ham, olives, onions, pepperoni, sausage, and feta cheese: quite compelling). I discovered that college kids are some of the most cheapskated, disrespectfiji tightwads I ' ve ever met; they don ' t tip wonh jack (and don ' t think I ' ll forget, Jennifer in 3A30 Foothill LaLoma South). I also found some pretty cool new friends, students and non-students, and I think I may have learned the valueofahard- earned dollar (say this in your most phlegmy, parched middle-aged grandpa voice) . Plus I must have reduced my years of indentured service to my parents by at least twelve. • Copy by John B. Lin 2li life
