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!
