South Speaks: Teenage Jobs

As many people know, money doesn’t grow on trees; it has to be earned. And for most, earning money means working. The spending habits of teenagers cannot be supported by the occasional $5 bill found in the couch. There’s no doubt that it’s a challenge to juggle the stress of school on top of a job, but nonetheless many South students do. That being said, how many students really do enjoy their job?

 

“I like the people I work with, and I like working. However, I feel like I am always there because I am always working. ” -Senior Liberty Espinoza, who works at Crumbl Cookies.
