Sam wrote:*drools over Jack's job* I can't get one at Barnes and Noble- which is only seven blocks away- until I turn sixteen.
But, now...I corn detassel. Child labor is rather a Nebraskan thing- we get on buses at four thirty in the morning and drive out to remote places and take tassels [read: cornflowers] off female plants, so that the corn can cross-pollinate and you can, er...eat. I don't know the purpose, exactly, but Claudette calls it 'raping corn'. XD
I only make minimum wage, but hey- it goes up to $5.85 here Tuesday. *dances about* Much better than bagging at the grocery store, as far as hours go. -_-

Anyway, this fall I'm working at a corn maze (The Amazing Maize Maze XD). That basically means I sell tickets, popcorn, and cider, I explain how the thing works, and...yeah. I've already spent two days this summer hoeing the corn and pulling it out to make the paths of the maze...yeah, farm labor stuff is NOT fun. But at least I'll have the money.
