I activate American Express cards, and I try to get the card member to upgrade their card or to add a service to their account. I'm 16, and quite frankly i would rather be out playing than at work... I am so sick and tired of my job, and it is very boring. I get payed 9.25 an hour, and then i get comission off of what i sell. I cant quit because i have payments... and I do a pretty good job, but it is so boring... what can i do at work to keep myself awake!? i just need some modivation...

Keep in mind that you are lucky to have such a job and most 16 year olds are flipping burgers or working at the mall for sub-minimum wage and many single parents have to support not only themselves, but their entire family on the type of wages you are making, not just for "payments" and have the option of quitting.
You indicate that you have not get an hour wage, but commission off of what you sell...if you have any ambition then use this opporuntity to learn whatever skills necessary, whether it be from a high performing co-worker or reading books from the library to become the best salesperson you can. Not only could you reap more financial benefits from the job, but with a proven track record, it will be easier for you to get into any sales oriented job in the future.

just think ur job is the best, dont have negative thoughts, because then u will never be happy! U could try to find another job while ur still working there and quit once u get a job u like. But even though its boring, at least u are getting paid more than minimum wage which is really good!

How the heck did you get that job?? At 16, all I could get to hire me were restaurants! Consider yourself lucky! Make enough money to pay off whatever you need to pay on and then quit. OR just go look for another job. There is no point in working somewhere that you don't enjoy being.

wow 16 years old and working for amex. it beats what i did. if i were in your shoes, i would quit. some folks would say stick with it, but i would say go and enjoy your life. i hope college is in your future. you are already bored with this job, who knows what your potential will be. CEO or president of a company one day.
