Thank you very much for such a heartwarming post.
Community service and crappy jobs are probably two of the most valuable avenues of enlightenment when it comes to the job world. The former teaches you about what you should do for the good of society, and both teach you about what you shouldn't take for granted.
I'm 18 myself. Fortunately I have never run into the law while drinking. I don't drink much, but it would be just my luck to get into trouble for doing so on one of the rare occasions I do drink. My 16 year old cousin just got in trouble in the state of WA for having rougly the equivalent of half of a drink in her system when the cops busted the party she was present at. She got her driver's license taken away for 3 months and most likely had to do community service as well. As I understand it, the judge was very generous by only taking away her license for 3 months, but for her, a teenager in rural WA, her license is her only means of social liveliness.
I personally just worked for 3 days at a small telemarketing company. I already hated telemarketers before I started the job, and those 12 hours of work really showed me the reasons why I hated them. Yet, it's the concept, not the people of telemarketing that I hate.
Again, you'll remember this for the rest of your life. Keep up the good work and try to avoid getting mixed up with the law. Let the real criminals do that.
