There's an interview for a bookstore staff position for me this Saturday. The bookstore is part of a holistic-living outlet that organises yoga lessons and gatherings/discussions about New Age stuff. I'm really interested about crystal balls, tarot reading and I used to practise yoga (till I got too busy/lazy to continue).. Thing is, the place is 30 minutes away by train and have to walk 10 minutes there. And I've heard bookstore staff don't earn a lot..I'm not going to do this purely for money, but I don't want to while my time away with minimum wage either.
Some advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Definetly YES!. If that fits your interest, and you enjoy doing it, why not?
Do whatever you want in your life, be happy, and do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt or offend others of what you are doing... ^__^
On the other side, if you take my advise, crystal balls, tarot reading, yoga, is not good. Because it's black magic/witchcraft, and againts God's will. If you're a God-fearing person, you'll never accept the job offer, but if not, you will happily accept the offer. For christians, it's bad to do does stuff. But for non-christians, it doesn't really matter, and it's okey to do it ;)
Just an advise ^_^
I hope this helps... ^_~

You could always ask what the salary is before you go on the interview if you're worried about it being minimum wage. Keep in mind you need to subtract out the train fare and make your decision.
Yoga is healthy but crystal balls and tarot are just smoke and mirrors - a waste of time. If you're not working for money then you should try to get a job in the field you want to work in when you're an adult. Even a little experience will give you an advantage when applying for entry level positions.

Well considering that your total commute time would be around 1 hr and 20 minutes plus you would have to pay for the train...I would say that it is not worth it because if you got a job closer to your home, you could work an additional 1.5 hrs a day and still have the same time involved at work. If you make $8 an hour and you worked an additional 1.5 hours a day, 4 days a week, that is about $2500 dollars a year...That is substantial money for a teenager so find something closer to home

Boy you are sure in a divided case. Well, if you are interested and you want to do this go for it. Follow your heart. But for the money issue you do have to pay for the train, you need to consider that. You don't want to work and never get ahead even if you are not in it for the money.

Go for an interview anyway. You can always turn it down. If you don't go, you may regret later. Meanwhile, apply for different positions too.
