Can a high school bball player get hired?

Question

im 16 and want a job but i play bbal in the winter so i would only be able to work fridays and weekends then. will that prevent me from getting hired?

Answer 1

um i think so andrew bynum was about 19 in 2007 or 2006 and he started in 06

Answer 2

No defiantly not when employers are looking to hire they need help and weekends are always busy for places just apply in lots of places go to interviews so you can choose which job fits your schedule best.

Answer 3

no i dont think so.... just get a job thats good 4 u

i kno flexible..

Answer 4

hey

i know how you feel i play basketball and do track

the answer is you can only have a summer job really and then not even b/c if ur a seriour bballl player than you will probably have aau and training and college camps and visits in the summer so having a job is just a no-no for a serious high school athlete  

Answer 5

you will have to tell ur boss/interviewer to see if its ok. Some bosses will be cool with that, others wont. (im a football player and i got the same problem, but my boss is cool)

Answer 6

Prob, you'll have to choose between work and bball more then likely, same thign happened to my bro, he chose basketball, so I'd suggest that. :)

Answer 7

Not at all! Just find a job with flexible hours or that's only on Fridays and weekends. My job right now is only Fridays and weekends.

You obviously won't be able to work as many hours as if you didn't play basketball, but you can still work. Restaurants are particularly busy on Friday and Saturday nights so you may want to try them.
