Actually, she's only had 1 job in her entire life. From 15-17, she worked part-time as a babysitter, working for families in our neighborhood. She managed a job at a local card shop in the regional Mall last summer and worked hard over Christmas break to pay for her charge card bill (with the tongue stud and tattoo costs).
I guess she'll be looking for fulltime work now. I don't know that reality has really set in with her. She put in applications at the traditional college-kid locations (Barnes and Noble, McDonalds, 7/11) and was turned away every time as no work was available. More to the point, I'm not sure she'll be going back to college entirely on my parent's bill. She has no real appreciation for the work it takes to generate just one dollar as an unskilled, relatively uneducated employee. Considering what college tuitions are these days... that's alot of frenchfries...
I'm a little leary of helping her get work through the small network I've setup over the years. What she does to these individuals has a direct impact on how I work aswell. A few days ago, my mother asked me to put in a call at a company I worked for recently to see if they'd interview my sister. They'd hire her with only my recommendation....
In light of everything, I'm not so sure I want to do that now, but I want to help my mother help my sister too.
