apparently it’s pretty tough out there. he couldn’t get a job at chipotle; maybe chipotle’s trendy for employment? he’d been applying all over and nothing. finally he got a cool job at the mall involving sales for an hourly plus commission.
so pleasing to see your kid get out there and actually find work by himself.
now when i was his age, in 1981, it was so dang easy to get a job. i remember finding work almost instantly. supposedly that was a recession too…
he seemed so competent, following up on interviews, trying, keeping his chin up…
Great that your son found a job, scaredy! Scary that it was so difficult, though. Like you, I remember the 80s, and had no problem getting jobs then or during the recession in the early 90s. For the sake of all the Piggs’ kids, I hope things get turned around soon.
How crazy is it that he couldn’t get a job at Chipotle? And I’m assuming this is your college kid? Back in our day, you could pretty easily get a fast-food job at 15 if you had a work permit.
