Jobs

May 25, 2016

Here I sit,

My first job...

Application on the table next to me.

I fill it out,

Not sure what hours I want to work,

Or what date I'll be available,

Or even if I'll get an interview.

Why do I do this?

Why do I need this?

How important is money?

Pretty important, it seems.

Not really.

You just need it for

Everything.

College, car, insurance, school, extras.

Everything.
