Calling All Mental Patients!
I am having some difficulty in the job searching arena.... In other words, I can't find a job. No one seems to want to hire a kid with little to no experience. The problem with this,however, is that how do you get experience if you don't get a job? Its a paradox! And I have no clue how to end this vicious cycle of inexperience! I have had volunteer jobs, but the places I apply to don't seem to care too much that I volunteered at a Cat Shelter, or that I worked at an art studio. It seems that every application I send in is disregarded as soon as they take a look at my age. I'm 17 years old, not 7! Just because I'm 17 years old does not mean I am incompetent. I am a harder worker than some adults! I know adults who don't even want to job hunt, they are too lazy to go online and go to a job hunting website! So to be judged on my lack of experience and my age is appalling! When will someone be willing to give a kid a chance? My 18th birthday is no longer just "slowly creeping up", it is coming at the speed of light! I find the aspect of turning 18 without a job horrifying and absolutely NOT an option! So how do I fix this?! No, how do WE fix this. This affects more than just me, I am sure sure of this. I have friends who can't find a job due to the same issues. What is wrong with this world? I don't think the economy is SO bad that a few teens can't be hired! I think kids are important to hire, its life skills! How do kids learn to grow up if they aren't given "Grown up" responsibilities! Its mind blowing!Alright, that's my bit for the day. If anyone else feels the same, post a comment!
