Working Part-Time Jobs 


Luisa: Are you still here? I thought you got off at 3:00. 


Max: I picked up a second shift. I could use the money. 


Luisa: But I thought you had another part-time job in the evenings. 


Max: I normally do, but the restaurant where I work has been cutting back my hours, so I’m trying to pick up as many extra shifts here as I can. 


Luisa: And don’t you work at the amusement park on the weekend? 


Max: I do half the year, but it’s winter and the park only keeps a skeleton crew on during these months. In the meantime, I’m working for a temp agency, which gives me short-term assignments. 


Luisa: I don’t know how you juggle 1 all these jobs. 


Max: I have no choice. I have to piece together an income if I want to pay rent. 


Luisa: Have you ever thought about going back to school to qualify for other work, something full-time 2


Max: Sure, all the time. I’d like a better job, one with benefits and a reliable salary. 


Luisa: What’s stopping you? 


Max: I have to pay for something called “food,” and I haven’t met my fairy godmother yet!
