Got my first job today, and I realised.

I have to work hard in school. today i had to spend two hours cleaning selves and 8 hours relaxing or helping customers, it was rubbish, i honestly never hated a day more then today, it was long, tedious and unrewarding. It made me think, I don't do well in school what am I going to do when I'm older, a job like this. Seriously if you've struggling to keep motivated in your studies just a job in a store and you motivation will go up 100 %

I find picking things up and moving them therapeutic.

I did a job like this as well, it was so bull****. I hated every second of it. Good thing is, I'm most likely going to a good uni this year :smile:

What gives you the right to look down on other people's jobs? If I knew where you were working I'd have gave your boss a nice call.

I don't know, perhaps the fact that boss only gave his employees 30 pound for the whole day maybe for there work?

Work experience was enough for me as well, I thought it would be fun but was mistaken.

The funnest work I've ever done is bar work, work that needed no qualifications.

All he said was that he found a particular job to be tedious. That doesn't necessarily indicate that OP sees others in that position as below him.

Good music, flowing alcohol and hot girls. My future Lit degree has nothing on that. If you find the right institute I'd really recommend it over a retail job.

But OP, I admire your resolve to further your education and avoid real work. :tongue:

Whats wrong with spending 8 hours 'relaxing and helping customers'?

No, only over £6 an hour, but that was as it was for a temporary event over a few weekends so not a permanent job. However the hours are super long so in one day I made over £100, it quickly adds up.
