My parents insist that I get a job while I am still in high school, and I want to get a job. But I don't want to have my job proficiency come to a war with my school proficiency. If I work, with all the rigorous IB (and AP U.S. History) classes I'm taking this year, I'm bound to have my grades slip at least a little, and I know that I need to be thinking about college before professions.
But I need the money. My dad bought me my car, but he said I needed to pay $1000 out of the $5000 it cost him because I would "take better care of it" if I had a share in the payment. My mom and step-dad are paying for my insurance right now, but once I get my license, it will skyrocket another $650, and they have told me that I must pay for this. So basically, I have to get a job before I get my license but I need my license to get to said job.
In addition, getting a job right now is virtually impossible with the way the economy is standing (or slacking, for lack of a better term).
Might anyone be able to offer some input on the little predicament I've got going for me? I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks.
Dakota
