Andy needs a job

Andy wants a job. He wants one desperately. He's applied at three businesses in town. One closed. One can only hire 16 year olds. The third requires an online "test" and if you fail, they won't even look at your application. He thought he passed the test, but has been by the store twice asking about it and was told that they haven't looked at the applications and promised that he'd get a call. Two weeks later, no call.

He's pretty discouraged. We are quickly running out of options as there aren't many places that will hire a 15 year old. He may have to resort to fast food, but that can be such a negative experience and aren't sure he's "fast food" material.

So, we'll re-take the "test" and hope that something goes right. Either that, or we'll ask around to see if any farmers are needing a teenagers help.

I really don't think a 15 year old NEEDS a job, but this is his choice. My heart won't be broken if he doesn't get a job. I want him to be available to go with us to visit the family...cause we go so often... (Right Mom and Dad?)

I don't want to have to work our family trips and vacations around his schedule. So, I don't mind him not having a job. And, in my mind, a big motivator for him is the simple fact that if he had a job, we'd let him drive himself to school and he wouldn't suffer the humiliation of having his mom drop him off at school.

Yep, Andy needs a job. His manhood depends on it.
