Want something that will pay well, although I know most will start around the same amount.

My basic categories that I split my options into are: department stores, clothing stores, children's stores, bookstores, body & beauty stores, houseware stores, and restaurants.

This is a list of the places I am looking at.

Department Stores: J.C. Penny, Dillard's, Macy's, & Nordstrom.
Clothing Stores: Charlotte Russe & White House/Black Market.
Bookstores: Barnes & Noble and Borders.
Body & Beauty Stores: Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop.
Children's Stores: babyGAP, GAPkids, Gymboree, Justice, The Children's Place, Build-a-Bear Workshop, & The Disney Store.
Home & Housewares: Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, & Williams-Sonoma.
Restaurant: The Cheesecake Factory.

Thank you ahead of time for your help :)

Being a host at a restaurant was a great experience for me when I was your age.

It gives you opportunities to learn different kinds of people and it is not as stressful as being a waitress. Just my two cents. :)

When I was 16, I worked at a Print shop in the Basement of a County building(we printed Warrants, suppoenas, about anything a County would Print, Good Experience, I could have gone into printing?
How about an Automotive Body Shop, a Fishing Boat.
Can you tell what City you are in?

Hi, ashxmy_lovee!

Have you ever been employed previously and how well do you do in your classes at school, please? I have a good reason for asking about the school thing.

Thanks!
