I heard on the news tonight that one drugstore chain hires high school
children as assistants to dispense prescription drugs.



BFD....

.....when I was in high school I knew several people who worked in
drug stores as assistants to the pharmacist... including my wife.

As a Junior and Senior in High School I (and many of my friends) drove
a school buss.


When I was in H.S., I worked in a cemetery.......and yes....it was a
dead end job

Now, we don't expect anything of our kids and they are working hard to
live up to our expectations......

Even before High School I spent a couple years working in a fish plant.
I picked about 21 worms out of one codfish filet as my personal best.
Just after high school I had my best teen job as a maintenance worker in a
popular local park.

At a High school age? I imagine it DID seem like a "couple of years"
