“I made it so I don’t work Saturdays… so I can hangout with my friends.“

“I would stay away from getting a job while in high school for as long as possible. Enjoy everything before real life hits you and take full advantage of that.”

“Only get a job if you need money because working is not fun, but it is nice having spending money.”

“It really depends on… how eager you are to make money.”
