I’m 16 almost 17 and need a job. I dropped out of school and i’m going to adult ed this fall to study and get my GED. I want either a full time job or part time job and save up money to buy a car when i’m 18 and I get my license.

I wont be doing nothing this fall but sitting in my house all winter so I figured why not get a job.

Will they hire me if I put on "9th grade highest level of education completed"? The store is Meijer and I was thinking about filling out a application online. I would either want to stock shelves or push carts.
Like I have no idea what they do. Do they show you around and stuff?
Sorry the title should have been "Do they train you if you want to work at a store pushing shopping carts in"

i am about 6 week pregnant.
when i first told my guy about it, he was scared like crazy of course, and so was i.
two days later, he said he was over the initial shock and was now getting even a little excited to have a child, and that was honestly the best feeling i can ever remember having: to know that he wouldn’t back out on me, because i am against abortions, and he said he would help me take responsibility for what happened to us.
then, a couple more days later, he called me to tell me that he’d been really thinking about everything, and how we needed to think rationally about our situation.
i am 19 years old and he is 22. he has a full-time job for an hour, but i do not have a job right now because i am in college. i come from a more "wealthy" family, though, and he doesn’t. i’m not saying that my family is uber rich, because we’re not, but both of my parents are doctors. and it also doesn’t mean that his family is dirt poor, but his dad was a marine and his mom is a cop.
he lives on his own and pays for everything himself on his own income, and everything right now for me is pretty much still paid for by my parents.
anyways, i thought things were going amazingly that night he told me he was excited, but then everything changed that next time when he said we needed to speak rationally.
bottom line is we agreed to get me an abortion because of financial problems. i’m sure that his parents and my parents would help, i know they would, but we agreed that we don’t want to have to depends on them forever. we don’t want our baby to ever go without warm clothes, without toys it will want, without anything that it will need.. so we decided that the abortion would be the best thing, since i couldn’t carry a baby for nine months and then just give it away for adoption.
i was fine with the abortion thing for a few weeks, and it still logically makes sense to me, but now.. it’s just like i see babies everywhere. baby carriers, little 2 year olds, kids in shopping carts at the store, baby sections in stores, baby commercials on tv, and i hear about baby stories all the time. it’s not that i never did before, but now it’s just all standing out to me, like it’s saying that i need to have this baby and take the responsibility that i was fine with taking in the beginning.
my guy still thinks it would be the best to get an abortion, and even though he says this, i know he would still be there for me if i decided not to get an abortion. he would be there, he wouldn’t leave me hanging. but he says that an abortion would be the best thing for all three of us: me, him, and our unborn child.

the thing is, my feelings have started to change again. i was absolutely fine with the idea of getting an abortion at first, even though i was against it, because it made the most sense.. but now, it’s just i think EVERYday, hundreds of times a day about how i am going to feel afterwards. if i got an abortion, i know i would never be the same anymore. i’d pretend to have fun, and maybe i could have fun with friends and my guy like old times, but there would still be that one thing in the back of my mind haunting me forever. i wouldn’t become "unpregnant", he and i would just be the parents of a dead baby. and i don’t know how i could live with myself knowing that i took away a life that hadn’t even been given the chance to be lived. what if my baby has real potential? i don’t want to go through the rest of my life having to explain to possible future husbands about how our babies wouldn’t be my first. i don’t want to see babies in shopping carts at the store and think that could have been me, happy with a little boy or girl. i don’t want to hide something so powerful and hanging over me for the rest of my life, because i know that i would regret it and i’ve looked up so many websites on how other women have gotten over abortions, and they all say that there is major depression, regret, hurt, and that their futures are just not as happy as they could have been.

i was fine with the abortion thing at first, but now i’m not. i just don’t know how to break it to my guy, because he still thinks i’m fine with an abortion. i know he wouldn’t back out on me if i told him i was going to have the child, but i know he’d be disappointed in me for not trying to be strong and think about what might be best for the three of us.

someone please help me because i have no idea what to do.

I’m 16 years old and I turn 17 in 2 months. I dropped out of high school this last fall (i was only in 9th grade) because of social anxiety. My anxiety is still going away but I still have problems with negative thinking a little and over analyzing things way too much. This fall i’m going to go to adult ed to study and get my GED. I was thinking about getting a full time job at a grocery store pushing carts in or working stocking shelfs until I get my GED. You know, just so I can save up some money so when I turn 18, I can buy my own car or just help my parents out. They arent exactly rich and are on social security.

My problem is about getting a job is that, I worry about "how do I clock in and clock out, in winter, where do I put my jacket at working in the winter, should i really get this job, what I get bored pushing carts all day." I worry about everything possible about a job. Its all the little details too that I pay attention too! It drives me crazy!
I don’t think its OCD. I have completely no life experiences and have NEVER had a job before. I realize that people get jobs to support themselves.

After I get my GED, I plan on going to college and taking up a automotive course, probably either Automotive Technology or collision repair since I love cars and love messing around with them. I’m a very smart person, I just dropped out of school so soon and i’m so young with no experience. I worry about "if I got this job, how would I interact with other people" and "will people make fun of me being so young and working full time doing a sucky job?" all that it drives me crazy. My parents say i’m way too smart for my age and way too mature. Even people think I look 19 years old.
Basically i’m so confused. I cant even distract my mind from this. I constantly am thinking about getting a full time job. I really want a car when I turn 18. If I dont get a job soon, I’ll probably be relying on my parents to drive me around or me using their car. I worry about every little single thing! Like I said, I plan on working and saving up money and buying a car so when I turn 18 I can get my permit and also have a car. I would probably have my GED by then if I really study and put my mind to it. Then hopefully be in college before I turn 19.
How can I stop this? Is work like a big thing people make it out to be? Or once you start a job, is like it like a normal task for you and it doesnt seem important that your making money?

People always talk about working and jobs. Even at school they constantly talked about working and jobs. It seems like their hyping it up so much. I know people that work and dont even think nothing of it.

On the application online, you have to create a profile and then search for open jobs. They don’t have any open jobs for pushing carts. BUT in the open positions, it had "utility worker/bagger/customer service." and the job description said somedays I might be in front of the store and somedays I might be removing carts from the parking lot and making sure the frontways are clean, but what the hell… I always see people there pushing in carts. It says that I might also work at the customer service desk. Does this mean that somedays I would be assigned to push carts and somedays work in different parts? That doesnt make sense. I really want to be pushing carts! Maybe as a full time job.

I’m 16 almost 17 and I Dropped out of school, but this fall i’m going to go to adult ed and study to get my GED.
But then winter is coming up… would this be "too cold" to be pushing carts a full 8 hours everyday? Maybe thats why they want people working at different parts or something. But yeah, I applied for it because I thought maybe it was for pushing carts.
BTW, they don’t have paper applications. Even at the stores you have to apply on a computer. The store is called Meijer. The samething on the computer, is the samething I go to on my home computer, the page to apply.
It didnt exactly say "I would be in different parts of the stores on somedays" but it said "it involves being in different parts of the store, sometimes i nthe front greeeting customers, sometimes removing carts from the parking lot, or working at customer service."

I’m only 17 and I just got my first job at Kmart pushing carts for part time. I was excited to get this job, and I liked it during the training and everything. When I started my first real day, it was okay but I am already starting to hate it. I turn 18 in July, which I will be promoted to something else, most likely cashier. I was hired only two weeks ago and to be honest i’m hating this job already. I can do the job with no problems, greet customers, push carts, help other employees if needed, it’s all simple stuff that’s not hard work but I hate just going in for work. I don’t mind the customers at all, i’m used to them since I worked part time for one of my family members at his business. I really don’t care for most of the employees there, I like a few but most just seem to give others a hard time. Also the bosses/supervisors were nice during training, but lately they are no help to me at all. Any questions I have or any concerns they completely ignore me or any of the other employees.

To be honest I don’t want to go back in which would be monday, i’m seriously considering quitting my job, I only worked two weeks for them and it’s hard for me to go in to work. Another thing is I don’t seem to have the energy or time to do any school work because of my new job which is causing a big trouble. This is my first job and I don’t want to leave on bad terms so I am going to write a letter of resignation and turn it in on Monday and just quit right there and then. I know that giving a 2 week notice is more professional but I have no interest at all in working for them for any longer.

So I would like to have some of your guys opinions on this?

Keep in mind this isn’t really a money kind of thing, it was more of getting a little job experience so I know what to expect for the future. I graduate in late May/Early June and I plan on getting a full time job when I turn 18 in July, not as a cart pusher thats for sure lol.
