Job prospects = teh suck
So. After a cursory probe of possible employment at local shopping centers [meaning "walk into any store that looks halfway interesting and ask how old you have to be to work there"], I have discovered several bad things.
B. Dalton [and most likely Barnes & Noble too, since they're affiliated] does not hire anyone under 18. Neither does Radio Shack. Or the video store up the street.
In fact, of all the places I went today, only two were willing to hire 17-year-olds.
CVS. And Hot Topic.
*cries*
[Okay, all is not lost. I'm going into town tomorrow to scout out the movie theater, the Blockbuster, all the various thrift stores, and whatever else catches my eye. But... Hot Topic? Gah.Okay, okay, I walked away from that twenty dollars poorer due to the lure of purple hair dye and a Bauhaus shirt. But still.]
