HomeMy WebLinkAbout0125 With freedom comes responsibility. Financial responsi-
bility. As young people and as students we want two
things: we want stuff to show off and we want to be
entertained. Unfortunately that five dollars a week
allowance, which you have been negotiating a raise in
for the past ten years, just isn't cutting it now that .-
you're a teenager. What to do? While some of our
finer students resort to panhandling for lunch money
from friends, the rest of us go out and find a way to
earn the means in an attempt to fulfill our desired ends.
Yes, we get part-time jobs.
You may see us at grocery stores squashing your
bread; at fast food places getting your order wrong; at
restaurants serving you with turtle-like speed; calling
your house during dinner time to sell you the
"Ultimate Potato Peeler/Answering Machine
2000GXF;" cutting you off in traffic to get the pizza
there in thirty minutes or less; scariest of all, you may
even be entrusting us with your small children for a few
hours this weekend. Whatever we do for money the
ends are worth the means.
On Friday night when you're at work and your friends
are out at the new suburban entertainment develop-
ment, don't worry; think of the fabulous Christmas
present you can now afford to buy for your Great-
aunt Gertrude. She will be so
appreciative of that
"Ultimate Potato Peel-
er/Answering Machine
2000GXF" when she opens
it up Christmas morning; or
you could think "Today is
payday and I can still catch
the last showing of the Adam
Sandler movie if I hurry."
Then you could appreciate
the new Creed CD that
you're going to buy when it l
comes out Tuesday.
However you choose to
spend your checks remem-
ber, this may be your first
but definitely not your last
job in a long line of part time
work. Oh, yeah, don't for-
get about that cute new co-
worker of the opposite sex.
