I want to earn money to pay for my own stuff but my parents don't believe in student type jobs. Any type of service job where you're not paid by salary or not in an office is a waste of time to them. When I was 16 I was earning 9.10$ an hour, which is more then what most 18 year olds make during their summer jobs, and my parents made me quit. I can pretty much ask for as much money as I want, but it's nowhere near the 200$+ that i'd be getting from weekly paychecks. Instead of working at a job, now I come home and play counterstrike... I wish I still had my job
