I have to agree with Sarah about the the job thing. By choice, not need, I volunteered at a Girl Scout camp at 14, taking care of horses (yes, this means shoveling horsey doo-doo). Ever since then I have had jobs (mostly in the summer, some during school). My mother gave me an allowance, but I chose to get a job so I could learn responsibility, build a resume, and have more money, thus more freedom to buy and do things that I wanted.
This past summer I worked at a Girl Scout camp, and I don't see why I should have to hide this. I was underpaid, and if I'd cared about making even more money, I could have worked 40hrs/week retail or restaraunt. Instead I chose to be a role-model to younger girls, and it was an enriching, though not always easy experience. I even got a certification in First Aid/CPR there.
I don't see why I should be ashamed of this. It shows that I have the will to help others, and goals in life as well. I wouldn't want to be in a sorority with girls who think that it's okay to live off of other people's money for the rest of their lives, anyhow.
To think that some people graduate from college and don't even know how to write a resume! I began writing a resume at age 12 that included my babysitting experience!!! LOL maybe I can make some money in college helping people write their resumes!
Sorry, I'm just rambling now...
