of students in high school have jobs and i know also a lot of students that do not have jobs do you think it's beneficial for students in high school to have jobs while they're in school absolutely i mean to have a job in high school you know you don't have to being academic is obviously so much more important at least to me because you know you have the prospect of college in a future career but to get that job experience to be able to you know know what it's like to have a job of any kind especially a lot of high schoolers get jobs and you know retail or food service may be you know being in food service it's nice to have that kind of almost simple job experience before you go off to college because you know you still are able to live on your parents were if you're still able to have you know their food their money their they're paying for you and it teaches you the value of dollars so you're not you know skating through high school in your parents money not understanding what it's like to live you know not live on your own but be able to manage your own money and have it and not be dependent entirely on somebody else and that will make it more efficient for you later in life and if you have a real life career it will be simpler for you because you you are learning how to handle your money and everything so you work at starbucks to make marie yes how long you know working there about two years this week three years what made you want to stay with starbucks what made you want to stay with them well i i love them i mean it's not even so much that i like the food or the coffee it's that the people i work with and the experience that i've had working there with them and with the customers and with you know being able to connect with so many other people  it's been an incredible experience it's like awesome yeah i know there's many books about starbucks like how starbucks it changed my life and like i researched to it it was all everything on all the reviews and everything it's about how amazing their their employees are to their customers and  like with that oh yeah and that's a very important part is you know the customer service is so important and you were in that school as well you were in the human connection it's really nice exactly what are a lot of the main skills that you've learned by from working at starbucks well outside of being behind the counter  main skill i've learned is managing my money i mean i don't get anything that i don't need anymore because i have a job i have to finance my my leisurely purchases and so inside the job i've learned a lot about you know connecting with customers a lot about being able to be quick on my feet during a rush being able to deal with criticism a lot of customers you know that come down and timing complaints they come in they tell you what's wrong with what they've ordered to what's right and it's about making their experience and their day just that much better so that's probably been my most important thing i've learned that's awesome so you also are a high school student how do you manage your time with starbucks and school work well the secret is don't let yourself schedule too much for work don't tell your manager you know put me on every day and then pile as your school on top of that because you to time you know you have to balance both you have to be able to say all right i can't work this day of the week i have to get you know my studying done so that's a crucial do they are they worked to they work around their schedule absolutely they work around everything very very well the manager especially very casual he's able to tell me  and when is it the best time for me was and i think that's important for school students to make sure they schedule around all their curricular activities i know i work i dance and i have to balance all that was school so personally i work like one to two days a week and throughout the year that's still like a decent ey give you any money for college well so they don't give you so much money for college as they actually do offer an online college at arizona state university if you go to that college online they'll pay your full tuition well and i actually do have a coworker name is jess she does that she is twenty and she goes on that college and she doesn't pay for college i mean she gets a free education and they will outside of school benefits anybody over the age of eighteen gets a four zero one k i actually just signed up for my four on k ice week and i'm already earning interest and i'm already you know having stocks in the company and that's a huge benefit you know going into college going into a career having that money and having that security is going to be important and then kind of possibly doubling up at a different company but i know that you know where i'm going to college they have a starbucks ok and they do very easy with that tragedy yeah yeah you can transfer really anywhere in the whole country they'll just refer you to the next me that's awesome so whenever you come back for breaks or whatever will they allow you to just schedule at the original starbucks you don't continue working there and having been there for a while you know once i will have graduated two and a half years i'll be somebody that's going to be able to come back and get a job actually a coworker who lives in barbados and  hired in barbados and she transferred all the way here she works at my store she leaves for months on end she goes on summer vacation students to wait for a month for winter break and they hire her right back they she can come back whatever shots amazing how do you think that you're going to manage your college work your job i don't know yet and i don't know how much more intense to go just in my school and i assume it's harder i've heard it's harder probably just sacrifice free time i mean it's really all i can do i don't want to not work at all to do all the college work i need to have even a more disciplined and so i'd say going into that yeah i totally agree with did you ever want to quit starbucks and ever think about quitting and going somewhere else just for if you wanted more money or something i have i mean i have but then at the same time realize where am i going to go i mean i don't want to you there's really not many other prospects for people my age you know being at starbucks being so close with being so close with the people there it's hard to leave it's hard to even consider leaving out there i've actually considered working at apple a lot of that's been my no one you know if i didn't work here i work for apple but working at starbucks i think is much better with the vicinity to my house with being able to love the people there being able to you know i live addicted to i having a coffee probably to them working there it's like you're feeding your passion it's wonder exactly shouldn't say that so what made you want to get a job like i know you started you start two years ago and what made you want to get into being in a job well i that story is about five minutes from my house i walk there every day or every day that i work and some days and i'm off i go to get a free drink i live in rage or i was down there almost every day anyway i started working there so they already already you know they all knew and and when i went down there and then i applied for a job online there he knew who i was the manager who was the manager prior to my current one her name was michelle she hired me at the interview and who i was she knew my name she knew my order that helped a lot being able to be friendly with the customers having two years of going there almost every day anyway and i'd say that's the reason i work there mainly and that made it easy for you also absolutely and that that's awesome but some students i know that they struggle to find a job and get out there but that really helps you with balancing your money maturing as a person that absolutely does what do you think is the biggest thing starbucks has taught you as a human like i know you are guys are great with your customers and everything but what you think it's taught you the most about like working in a real job and like getting with customers with customers and in general i think it would tie in with customers it teaches you how to make one person's day one person you don't even know somebody who you've never met and will probably never see again one person's day better and make them leave the store remembering who you are remembering that what they had was good to drink or eat us remembering you know your face as somebody who was friendly and  kind and who was helpful towards them wasn't you know rude or was and you didn't care if they were i want them to walk out of an experience that's that's memorable and that's the thing that i've learned is how to make that happen i guess and you care about your job and its very worst way personable so do you think students should go into a job that they actually care about because i know some people just go somewhere and there's like i'm the volunteer when you go to a job you care about and that you love to do this there is no such thing as going to work just go to another activity you don't dread it you don't not not want to go you know you don't have them or you say man i really don't go to work today i don't want to go you want to have fun and you want to go to the people that you love doing the thing that you really enjoy at that time in your life that's the main thing you can do you think students should oh like if they want to change their job and say they're like oh i can make more money than mcdonald's do you think they should just change that just to make more money well that's ok that's a different kind of an argument i'd say yes if they're not happy at their current job i mean money is very important and it is always important to keep that in mind but if you hate your job like let's say the person working with donald can't stand her so much that i would switch i mean you maybe get scheduled more maybe tell them hey this is a situation i'm leaving from a job i don't like that paid more but i don't i don't like it i want to be here so yeah i would say it's a very important switch if that's possible where have you been looking at colleges well cincinnati just accepted there a few days ago thank you point park and i'm going that's where i'm probably go that's absolutely where i'll be transferring to right out of the borders all right well that is all we have time for today neal thank you so much for joining me we really appreciate you having thank you for here yeah sure and probably see you

the environment is like nothing else i'd ever like into like no the other places had like they all are like yeah you can go online so you're saying you applied to other places too i applied to probably four other places like in that day like the second i walked in there like once but it's paid off now so if you're working there now are you growing on it now that you like to eat there well you know i really liked it at first i was like yeah just pull it every day this is but now it's more like a man maintain your choir elective and then your school homework and then yet go to work afterwards it's it's definitely a big challenge because i go to work from three to eleven on less every day and so  working like four days a week and then i have to go home and i have to do my work until like two in the morning and it's it's hard but i definitely think it's worth it because i'm enjoying myself at work and like neal said it's really good to be in an environment transportation only about a ten minute drive so it's not too bad that's not that do you have working out your poli benefit you outside of tripoli like making new friends or socially oh yeah definitely every time you go in there you're meeting someone new whether it can be customers or someone who's come in it's never like you're descending there and you're not talking to anybody everyone's really friendly and like i don't know we did last night i was working for example and some people came and i just was talking to them and they ended up i got their number and we would just like oh fred you know i know is crazy but it's really great no one's shy what's your  the grill guy the grill guy so you make all the fresh stuff i do make all the fresh stuff it is extremely difficult but once you get the hang of it it's i wouldn't trade it for anything it's so fun now i don't mean t was extremely challenging because grill triple a is the hardest decision you can work how long is training for that about well they train you for a couple weeks to like a month and so it's the way it's about two years eight times as long as any other position now and during your breaks the average is like you know what i'm going to study for a test really do my homework or is it like no time for that just pretty much just you don't have too much time because you've got to get through the line yeah and then you got to get your food and then you're like i already have like five minutes left i get it it's stress or not do you or know any kids they're from peter's township i do i know four or five kids from from here oh that's great now do you interact with them in school it says you meet them from work yeah actually before i started working there i was in friends with a lot of them now every time i see i'm like how are you all like cut up and have fun with them oh that's great now can you ever like to help a friend now in school i mean like you know what can you take my shift and not take your shift the yes the that yeah i do probably more than i should but yeah we definitely we're all there for each other we all help each other oh this cousin you like when you do so it's really positive in everything it's very positive environment oh good now do you ever could you see yourself in along in along with this job or such is at the moment i definitely could see myself in the long run is this like for now i'm definitely going to stay there through high school through high school and i definitely want to when i go to to stack up you're just it's basic in free college it's super great and that's part of the reason why i actually joined bowie because that's a big benefit to me because i'm coming up on college pretty soon it's great to think about enough to support myself throughout college and even though i'm going to be working throughout college i think that it's really nice because not very many other places or for you that kind of benefit throughout college so it's really nice to have five switch me over there how else may help you they help me you i've noticed that from when i started there i've definitely mature a lot like ok like neil said he's matured in every way possible like i notice that with myself because when i start off there i didn't know much about like saving your money they're like mine money management or anything like that and i've definitely noticed that i've i've learned a lot about keeping like my money in track and also time management time management and my work is a huge thing definitely because i'm always running from place to place and it really helps me apply unlike other situations like at school yeah like i'm like ok i'm going to set aside this time for studying this and then i'll switch over to doing this and i'm like on schedule i mean
