[quote=Anonymous]really? she can't apply to mcdonald's, target, the grocery store? do you really think she couldn't do that work? Lots of places are hiring for the holidays now so it's a good time to start looking. After new years, lots of people join gyms--could she clean locker rooms and check peoples' IDs at one of them? You don't need an internship to get a minimum wage job. You probably live in an area where the parents are very competitive and most kids go to college, so your ideas are warped by that. If your daughter can fill out an online application (with your help if necessary) and show up to work on time and not steal stuff, she can probably get hired. If she applies to 25 entry level jobs and flunks all the interviews, then yes there is some sort of problem and it makes sense to apply for SSI. But if she hasn't acted so off-kilter at the library that they've asked her to leave, she probably is functional enough for a job at Subway.[/quote]
