As soon as I was able to drive I wanted a job so I could do the adult thing and do whatever I wanted with the money I earned. It seemed that no matter where I went I needed more experience. But, wait, how is a sixteen year old who has never had a job supposed to get experience if no one will hire them? You open a business and become a good interviewer.
My mother, being the business making machine that she is, helped me create a small business of my own. It had no name but it was about selling ice cream. In the summer I would go to Crest, buy dry ice (which of course I lied about my age to get it), buy novelty ice cream and put it in a cooler to sell. I made different routes for the car dealerships that I would sell to door to door. I did this for two summers before I actually got my first job.
I learned that no matter what your situation is, only you can fix it. I needed/wanted money and the only person that was going to get it was me whether I got hired somewhere or not I was still responsible.
