Remember last year when you fought a mob of high school students for a job that only paid 90 cents an hour? And when you didn't get it your mother got you a job shoveling garbage into the local dump for 50 cents an hour?

Well, this year end the summer job blues. Start off by saying. "Mother, I'd rather do it myself!" Then start right away in the quest for a job.

Now there are two questions you must ask yourself before starting work:
1. Do I want or have to go to summer school? If you answer yes, don't waste your time reading the rest of this editorial. Those who aren't asleep and have answered no without any strings attached may read on.

2. Do I want to work for money or for experience? Well, those who plan to go to college will probably want to work for the "green stuff." Jobs of construction, life guarding, and smuggling are good for

money or 20 years. If you don't plan to go to college, but still want to go into a specialized field for experience, you might be able to get an apprenticeship for that field. Likely spots are the hospital, local print shop, and the First National bank.

Since there are four times as many students as there are jobs, you will want to follow these following suggestions:

1. Start early.

2. Ask your relatives and friends to keep an eye open for job opportunities.

3. Contact the state employment agency.

4. Dress neatly for interviews.

5. Be business-like. (Don't say, "I can do anything you have.")

6. Work hard so you can obtain good references for next summer.
