Winter Wonderland


With Christmas approaching comes the wonderful winter break! This involves three weeks straight of hanging out with family and friends, sleeping and shopping. With me being a college student and all, my family doesn't expect much from me this Christmas. Unlike their expectations, I would like to get a job over break to make a little cash to buy everyone nice gifts. The problem is, I've never had a "real" job before and I want one that pays at least $10/hour. Minimum wage is far under that and I don't want to settle for low pay. I then run into the dilemma of having no where to work. I refuse to work at a clothing store at the mall and there's really nothing else to do. Best Buy would start me out at $8.25/hour but I can't stand being on my feet all day and dealing with annoying customers. The only other place I can think of is going back to babysitting but it's not a steady work schedule. I want to work 5 days a week while being at home and babysitting would only satisfy my needs on Friday and Saturday nights. Sure, anyone could take money from their parents but I would feel better If I got a job and paid for presents myself. Well, please don't hesitate to offer your suggestions on where pays good and a place for me to work for a few weeks. Thanks!
