Huh?
The SouthBend Tribune brings us this helpful article today, the following caught my eye:
WORKING HOLIDAYS: The holidays are approaching, those exuberant days of office parties, packed airports and family snarls. It also can be a time of a second job, as retailers rush to add seasonal workers.What's the appeal for job hunters? Debt reduction, according to a survey of 5,300 seasonal job seekers.
More than half, 61 percent, of those aged 22 and older said they're hunting seasonal work to pay off debt. Even 11 percent of teens 14 and 15 said they were seeking debt relief, too. But for that age group, a large percentage (39 percent) said they wanted a job for money to buy holiday presents.
What debt do 14 and 15 year olds have, besides maybe the $5.00 they borrowed from their best friend at the mall last week? That's just nuts.
