16 n-the-j ob training There comes a time in the life of a teenager when they need more money and would just like to get out of the house more often. The perfect excuse for a job. Today there are more students with jobs than 20 years ago, VOE teacher Karen Boyles said. One of the reasons for more teenage employment is due to the higher cost of living. Most students take jobs to pay for college, or simply for the job experiences that will give t em references when they seek better jobs, Boyles said. The main concern for most students waking jobs is the pay scale, Since no one works for free, everyone expected at least the minimum wage of 53.35.

There becomes a relevancy between school and the job, and this generates a positive affect of school work, she said. The ideal employee is responsible, honest and dependable, school store supervisor john Gogonas said. Even if he is incompetent, but has one of those qulities, he can be taught, he added. Five co-op programs were offered at Travis, each catering to different types of occupations.
