A friend of mine, his dd is a waitress at a small family restaurant, she frequently makes $200 in an afternoon. My wife and I met at a restaurant where we both worked (1000 years ago) but I can tell you its not terribly difficult work. Restaurants are generally very flexible in scheduling so they should be able to work around your school and sports schedules. If you want to work, this is a great job for a HS student
If you intend to work when you got away to school this might be a good thing for you. College towns have thousands of young people looking for work. If you walk in with a years experience and a good letter of recommendation from a home town restaurant you might be pushed to the top of the list of applicants. Just a thought.
I have a few friends that work as waitresses and they all love their jobs and love having money in their wallet at the end of the night. I talked to the owner and she would be able to work my schedule around school and sports. So, with my friends I was having breakfast with and my working friends at the diner...I filled out a application and got a interview on the spot. I don't know if I'll get a second interview or if I'll be hired...but I think the prospects are good.
I do intend on working when I go off to college. I know that this work experience will be valuable when it comes to getting a job when I'm in college. I'm looking forward to maybe having a job through the school year .
