Treated different because i’m in high school
I just interviewed to work at a retail store. They told me that I would have to fill in any hours that their full time employees (older than me) couldnt work. Is it worth it to take the job?

Hi Alan! To answer your question I would first ask yourself how important the job is to you. Is it something you really enjoy doing, or are there other options you would rather pursue? If it really is the best fit for you, you might want to consider that the older employees probably started with entry level positions, too. A lot of them may have worked their way into those positions with more flexible hours, and eventually, you may do the same! If the timing won't be a big issue for you, go for it! Sometimes it's great to just get out there and see what about a job you like or don't like (especially in high school where you're starting to think about future career paths).
Let me know what you decide to do, and I hope this was helpful! Also, join the high school group on jobcase! It's targeted for high school students to be able to ask those kinds of questions to each other!
