Pauline,
When do you plan on working? Will you work while you're in grade school at a later date perhaps? _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Pauline,

What does mean: grade school? Secondary school?
My school is for academic study and then you can go to the university when you are 18, but in the next months I will change to go to another school what's not this type so I don't exactly know how this will be. During school I don't work -it's not possible I think. Some people have some work the saturdays when they're 17, 18 but probably I won't.
Then at the university I will study medicine so there won't be time for other (different) work as well. I think that during this study you work for exemple with a GP or in the general hosiptal. Then after you have the qualification Dr, you can make the speciality psychiatry (or whatever direction you chose, neurology, cardiology etc...). It will be very much for me because I'm quickly tired, so then to work and study it wouldn't be possible.
Studies in Belgium aren't so expensive as in the US (*very* much lesser expensive), also I think my parenst will pay. I didn't ask them, but I suppose it. So, after those studies I will work, I'm not sure how old will I be, about 28 (?)

DAMN!! I couldn't imagine not working until the age of 28. I'm speaking from an American perspective of course. But if you could get away with it, do so by all means! _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I kind of like the idea of staying in university for as long as possible. I'm probably going to do a five year first degree course anyway, but then after that, I could then do a one year MLitt, followed by a two year research Master's, followed by a PhD, followed by a teaching qualification... that should last me until I'm 32, at least!
By the way... I received an offer from the University of St Andrews the other day, which where I think I really want to go, so I'm obviously very pleased about that!

LOL !! Then we will finish our studies about the same time, as I'm 3 years younger. BUT I will win this competition, because then after the studies I will have some children so then I won't work until they all are going to school when I will be 45. What do you think about the age 45 to start work, Porthos?

Lying about one's age is very common in the dance world. Imagine my surprise when my older brother (also a dancer) arrived in NY a few months after I did and was suddenly my younger brother.

Isn't that where the crown prince attended?
Yes, that's right. It's basically a small town on the east coast of Scotland, and it's very difficult to get to, as I am discovering as I try to organise a visit there next month.

Congratulations — but I thought you were 17... or do you mean that that's too young, and that they thought you were older?
Congratulations — but I thought you were 17... or do you mean that that's too young, and that they thought you were older?
Yes, I mean that that's too young and they thought I was older. It is a position usually reserved for upper-classmen in college, or even college graduates. I'm a smooth talker and a good salesman, but I have no professional education in finance and or business administration, so I think I'm under qualified and far too young.
I still have 1 1/2 years of high school to complete before I'm even in college!
Oh and congratulations on your acceptance to St. Andrews. Maybe you'll encounter a few famous alumni, like Prince William, lol. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

You may not believe it now, but school gets old after a few years.
Pauline, it will be pretty hard to get a job at the age of 45, when half your life has gone by without any useful work experience. And why would you not work while you had children? Not many women I know can afford that luxury. Children usually mean needing more money, not an unemployed adult in the house. _________________ An apple a day....

Don't worry, it was a joke
My first message was seriously meaned, but I thought that Bejnamin made quite a joke about studying until age 32, so I joked about start work age 45. Just very silly thing For sure I dont'want to have so many children, maybe one, two or not at all. It was because Porthos wrote about in the US the people get work very young.

My mother don't work. She worked before, I don't know when she stopped.In Belgium if a mother dont work it's not referred unemployed but mother because unemployed mean that you receive benefits for living. It's often that mothers work (part-time) or don't, but maybe in the US they must work. Sometimes it can be the father who is at home with the children and the mother work. I know a family their mother work and their father not.
I was really surprised to see that you listed Albertons among the places that you wanted to work. Working at Albertsons is so much more different than working at an insurance company or at a law firm or at a bank!
I'm glad that you found a *professional* job that will train you for your future.
I, myself, and preparing to go job hunting. Once my summer vacation starts, I'm going to sport a pair of slacks, a dress shirt, and a nice tie to go job hunting. I really want a "professional job" like at a bank or office, but I have absolutely ZERO experience, so I think I'd be more suited working at a restaurant or retail store. *blahhhhhhh*
My piano teacher offered me a job as a receptionist at the music academy's office, but she's paying me under the able and *less than minimum wage* so I don't want to take the job. But I've already accepted the job and I agreed to start in the summer. But now that I'm changing my mind about working there, I don't want to tell her because then it'd get awkward...
Don't worry, no thread here is ever considered "dead", just "resting"! So you can reply, no matter how lang ago the previous post was made. It frequently happens that people revive old threads. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

Yeah, truly all the time!
Now I'm working at Albertsons and Edward Jones Investments. And I soon might add a third part time job to my schedule if I decide to work as a server at a Bistro soon. So busy, but I so desperately need money!
