Let's talk about high school jobs! 💵 Here’s where two of my teens are working this summer. Making snow cones for all who need to cool off on a hot summer day. Hot tip: Pink lemon sour is my current fave flavor. 🍧 I love how high school jobs teach life lessons, even if the job is nothing like what you end up doing for a career later in life. My high school job was as a “counter girl” at the neighborhood dry cleaners. It doesn’t relate at all to the writing I do now. But I did learn a ton of important stuff through four years of working there: How to handle money, how to provide good customer service (the customer was always right at our store), working with others from all walks of life, the value of a good building fan (IYKYK!). I also learned how to make a complaint nicely vs how to be a complete ass and have an entire staff not want to wait on you ever again. Like I said, important stuff. I know my kids are learning many similar life lessons, including how to work with and report to a boss. (Theirs does a terrific job — shout out to Lyle Rupp at Snowie LLC Cincinnati!) I'll be so curious to hear years from now what lessons have stuck with them from their time shaving ice. What was your first high school job? What’s a lesson you learned from working there?

"I grew up in a middle-class family but became working class" after taking a job at McDonald’s. MP Kemi Badenoch's statement prompts reflection on how we understand class—is it a fluid status that shifts with employment, or a deeper construct influenced by race, privilege, and opportunity? To me, class encompasses more than income or occupation; it’s about the systemic power dynamics that shape access and privilege. While a job change can alter economic status temporarily, it often doesn’t dismantle the structural advantages or disadvantages tied to race and class. Many Black and racialized communities face persistent barriers to economic mobility that extend beyond employment. This raises important questions: Can class be easily moved between, or do race and social background significantly shape opportunities? For those from marginalised backgrounds, shifting class positions isn’t always straightforward due to enduring structural inequalities. How do you define class? Is it solely about job or income, or does it encompass broader factors? I’m interested in hearing thoughts on this topic. #ClassAndRace #SocialMobility #StructuralInequality #Intersectionality

Some people know what they want to do when they grow up from an early age. Others of us learn about what we like and are good at by trying. What experience(s) informed your career path?

One of my Year 11s inspired my latest blog for Future First by reminding me that young people are trying to see their future selves in “a job” often without any idea of what that actually might look like. It is vital, particularly for neurodivergent young people, that they are given the opportunity to see what workplaces actually look, sound and feel like. Maybe technology is the key to making this feasible for younger children to keep their ideas broad throughout Primary and Secondary school? #augmentedreality #virtualreality #workexperience

🌟 It was an AMAZING Day 8 of Session B at Hope Haven's Summer Career Camp! 🌟 👉Our career campers kicked off their morning in the Job Exploration Session with a burst of creativity, making Summer Community Helper Hand Puppets. They picked their favorite community helpers and got busy crafting lifeguards, park rangers, doctors, librarians, and more! The room was buzzing with excitement as they brought their puppets to life, learning about the roles and responsibilities of each helper. 👉As part of their job duties today, they tackled the much-needed but often overlooked skill of laundry tending. They learned the proper way to fold clothes and the importance of keeping their work neat and presentable. It was a hands-on lesson in maintaining professionalism and attention to detail. In Work Readiness, our campers got some great life advice about procrastination from an unexpected source—SpongeBob SquarePants. Through the hilarious episode, they discovered valuable lessons: 🔹Procrastination exists and needs to be managed. 🔹It’s quicker and more satisfying to complete a task than to put it off. 🔹Listening to that little voice urging you to get back to work is crucial. 🔹The longer you delay a task, the more daunting it seems. 🔹Completing tasks brings a great sense of achievement. 👉The day got even more fun and engaging during music therapy with Ms. Emily from Upbeat Music, in partnership with Cathedral Arts Project. Our campers got their rhythm going with their favorite Boomwhackers, creating vibrant and rhythmic tunes that had everyone dancing and laughing. It’s not too late to register your students aged 14-21 with an IEP or 504 Plan for our upcoming sessions. Each session runs for 2 weeks, and a separate Vocational Rehabilitation referral is needed for each one.
