post # 2

I think that status in my community is determined by what kind of job a person has and how much money they make. Based on this I would say that my community is really materialistic. I share these ideas but to a certain extent. I believe that status should be determined by what kind of a person the subject in question is. I don't really aspire to have status in my community. I do aspire to eventually make enough money to move out of this community and into a better one.

1) I am currently working at a Carvel ice cream shop. My job pretty much consists of serving customers, keeping the store clean, stocking items, and making different flavors. The store I work in is not really huge but it is more than enough space for both the employees and the customers. It is a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The one thing that I would change if I could is to raise my pay.

2) When I was a child my father worked in a parking lot as a supervisor and my mother worked in a breadstick making factory. They always told me that the key to getting a good job was to get an education. They would tell me stories about all their old jobs and the hardships they went through. As a result of this, I still believe that the key to a good job is an education. This is probably the main reason im in college right now.
