Yeah I work at video ezy - Ezy Does It!! lol
I don't think it's affected my studies in any way, it's helped to balance everything out i guess.. We have pretty good hours, 9am-11pm and they are really flexible for shifts.. I've had time off over the exams and a few weeks b4 and my bosses were totally cool about it.. It helps alot that they understand the pressures and demands of yr 12..

I love my work and the ppl I work with.. Plus it's helped me to save for schoolies!! :)

i work at a hospital.. no sick people stuff, i get to do admission type stuff. surprisingly it's both interesting, and the pay is sweet :)
hasn't affected yr 12 studies cos i did pathways.. i only work once a week usually so it wouldnt have affected it even if I did yr 12 as normal.

I'm in the Army Reserves. Pay is shit. Yes, it has affected my studies. But it's made me a better person.. and isn't that what it's all about? <cough>Don't join the Army.. ever</cough> But it's good for a bit of stress relief. I'm rappelling off the Sydney Harbour Bridge later this month (19th I think), and we do all sorts of cool shit.
Seriously, I would recomend it to anyone, as long as you can get Kapooka over in the begining months of year 12, even if you can't do it in the holidays, it's not that hard to catch up.

I don't have a job because I didn't want it to get in the way of HSC. A lot of difference that made.

I wouldn't call discounts 'cool' - at Target, it's 5%, and 10% on 'special weekends'. Wow.

Maccas, Your buying it. Man our newish owners are da scum of the earth, real nasty, bout half our old crew has left since they started and now they're hiring any tom dick or harry. By the way if u think spitting in ur burger is only done in movies ur right, we're much more imaginative.

I've got a Defcom Card. Same discount the Police get. Gets you 10% off at a lot of places. I'd say that'd pretty cool... But I'm cheap.
