target just gave me a job and im 16 and ill be a junior next month when school starts again

I was 14 and a sophomore in highschool. It was a collections telephone job for a credit clothing store. I fell in love with a dress in the window and was tempted to buy it when I found I got a 80% store discount. They laughed at me and told me not to buy their clothes because they were cheap shoddy rags that didn't last as long as the payments did.

I didn't last too long, though. Then I got a job removing lables off of dog food cans with a puncture type can opener. They had sold them to another dog food manufacturer and were to be shipped to Texas to be relabled. Hot, sweaty, dirty boring job.

how were you 14 as a sophomore when you normally start at 15 and finish at 16 unless you're from california cuz kids start school early there

18 and did very well, now however I'm concerntrating uni.

well, I was put up a year in elementary school because of my reading and speaking abilities, and anyway, it was Kansas in the 1960's.

i think every state has the entry date at september 1st except for california which has it at december 2

You can't start school early in any of the other states?

and you can't be put up grades? I was put up two in elementary.

Each state has a law on the entry date for kids entering kindergarten. Here in Seattle, where i live, which is in washington, you must turn 5 before september 1, which is the law in most states. In california it is december 2.

16.

I started working on weekends doing landscaping and mowing lawns.

I was eleven. You can legally get away with that in South Texas. Delivered newspapers and had some illustration jobs during that window of "fascination" that someone so young could draw like an educated adult artist.

17 as a relief cafe assistant/ cleaner I didn't have an interview for it either. My friend was offered it and she refused so I was offered it in her place and started the following week.

16 at a Telemarketing place that later turned out to be a scam I found out a few months after I quit...I only lasted a month. Terrible people and business.

I was 16 and in Tenth Grade I worked in am Icecream shop. We start Prep (known as kindergarten the USA) at 6 or turning 6. My birthday is in February and our school year goes from late Jan to early Dec. I turned 6 3 weeks after starting school.

I was 16 when I got my first job working as a backshop employee at a private golf course, but I got bounced after 4 months because of a misunderstanding .

Neaver had a job i'm 24years old.
