I need to find a first job?

Question

i am 17 and i have never had a job but now i really want one so i can get a car and save to get a place when i turn 18. I will not work at any fast food places. Im just wondering if there are any places that are good jobs that will train you instead of having to go to college for it

Answer 1

The best job I've heard of was a guy that busses tables at a real fancy restaurant.When I was real young my father owned a business and I could buy thing for the home wholesale.Did pretty good.Today I'm trying to learn how to market on the internet.The best tip I can give you is look hard the amount of time you want to work.So,if you wanted to work 40 hrs a week,disipline yourself to look 40 hrs. a week.That way when you find a place you will be adjusted to working 40 hrs. a week.Sometimes it is not the "Smartest" guy that gets ahead,but the most "Stubborn".Hope this helps.BTW: the guy "Bussing tables" made $200-250 a night.Save all you can and open a "Roth IRA" w/the extra you save.Learn & alway "Look to the Future".The 2nd richest man in the world said of Bill Gates(college dropout),"He could be selling "Hot Dogs" and he would still be a millionaire.Learn about Money!

P.S. There is a Christian College that pays for everything in Arkansas (not travel).The catch "you work like 25 hrs. a week for one of the colleges businesses.If I could do it over again "Right".I would go to college & get an MBA as financial analyst(If Good they can make millions a yr)..P.S. Remember a car is just a status symbol and the worst investment you will ever make. Whatever you are good at naturally.Check that out.My cousin didn't graduate from college went to prison for a while his painting sell for a minimum of $25,000. apiece.He got started making T-Shirts w/a air brush.Made enough to put himself in college and was driving a "Hot-Rod" his senior year of H.S.,so figure out something you can do @ home to make money.Don't rule out having your own business.Learn from your mistakes,don't make the same one twice.There are Billionaires under the age of 25,that started out with little or nothing.

Answer 2

a lot of nursing homes offer CNA courses (certified nursing assistants) for free if you sign on to work at that home for at least a year...but you always have it if you want to leave and work somewhere else after, or you could try telemarketing (baH!) they train for free and it's not bad money..it's just annoying. Or you could work retail somewhere and maybe eventually manage a store (you dont need college degree's for most store..but a few you do). There's a lot of things you can do with no college...but you have to work for it first.

Answer 3

Apparently you actually believe there are "out of school" jobs that pay $90 an hour, based on your answer to another question. See if you can't convince someone to pay for you to go to VoTech, you can learn to do a job that pays well, maybe just not $90/hour!

Answer 4

You would probably like to work at a grocery store as a cashier or stockperson. They always hire and train.

Answer 5

Plan on going to college. There isn't much out there for people who don't.
