Should I take the job

Question

I am 16 and volunteer at a shelter. Most volunteers help sell about 2 cats a month, while I in 4th months have probably helped move out about 20-30 cats. Well normally they (the shelter) don't take people under 16 but because they need extra help they will take me at 16. The pay is around 7-8 an hour I would be working from 12-6 on Saturdays and 12-4 on sundays and then come in any other time I feel like. They want a response from me in 3 weeks. The problem is school is starting up and I am taking all honor classes including 1 ap class and am I afraid that I won't have time for homework on weekends. My parents don't care one way or another. Basically I would be doing the exact same things I do when I volunteer but get paid for it. Should I go for it?

Answer 1

You are so lucky.  I would love to have a job like that.  I would definitely take it if I were you.

Answer 2

Heck yeah! do it! I wish I could! Thats like my dream job! I am 16, and I cant not find a job for my life!!!!

Answer 3

If you're still going to volunteer on the weekends then I would take it. Your weekends aren't for school any way. What's wrong with you? haha. I did all honors and AP classes my senior year and worked a 30-hour week job and did fine so I am sure you will be more than fine.

Answer 4

Go for it and try it out! If you start to fall behind in school then just go back to volunteering. It's great that you're volunteering at the shelter!! Hope I helped:):)
