Under 18 Question

Postby zsoutendijk » 7 May 2008 19:46

Im looking for yet another job (job-searching sucks!) and the idea came to me... what if i could be a part-time locksmiths or something.

Im 16 and was wondering if anybody knew whether or not that would be a possibility in my area (Raleigh, NC, USA)... or if would just be a better idea to keep applying to the mediocre, minimum wage stores in my area. ;)

the only problem i can think of is that i dont get my licence until july... and im assuming that would be a good thing to have.

thanks for any help!

when i was talking to my hopeful employer they were big on the fact that i had to be over 21 so that i could be on the insurance for the trucks and whatnot. Your experience may vary.

If they need an in-shop locksmith they might hire you.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
