[quote=Anonymous]People are bashing the idea of working in a burger joint.  Guess what?  I worked in our college admissions office for work-study as an undergrad and I can promise you that a job at a burger joint looks just as good or better on a college app than volunteering at a hospital or in a museum.  The only exception might be if your volunteer work were for a special project that had major leadership potential or a tangible product that was a sole endeavor of an extraordinary sort.  But patents who think that they should shelter their gifted little Larla from getting her hands dirty with condiments in favor of a cushy volunteer gig are mistaken if they think that colleges dismiss service industry jobs.

We values commitment, growth, etc.  so starting a job at 16 and getting promoted to assistant manager at 17 looked great.  Taking on some kind of initiative or leadership is important, and it can be done in all kinds of jobs

As for the OP's question, I would say you are done finding clothes, gas, phone, and spending money.  She'll find a way to make money right quick.  And for those who claim it's too hard in a recession, bull.  There are lawns to be mowed and kids to be watched.  Get a job![/quote]
