im looking for a job for the summer and maybe some weekends untill then, (i dont want to work every weekend because i want to surf), maybe in the afternoon, im 15 years old and live in Irvine, ill sweep floors in the shaping room, anything for some money for my new Ryan Lovelace Hull!!!
I teach at a middle school (6-7-8 grade). I always tell my students that they are earning about $200 an hour at school. They ask how that is and I explain- take the difference in yearly earnings of the average high school drop-out versus the college graduate, multiply that by 35- 40 years (working career), divide that by the number of hours they have left in school and you get about $200… to be paid later.
Summers are for studying life; school year is for studying books. I hope you are alreadya competent surfer, otherwise a hull is more frustrating than rewarding. Learning on hull is a bad idea, speaking from experience, because when you get over surfing them or want to surf other boards your turns are coming from the wrong place and your approach to waves is all messed up. Have fun getting a job, you need to get the shitty ones out of the way now to appreciate the fun jobs(not careers) later. Be smart with your money.
