"My Job" Profile for September
No summer sleep-ins for this teen.
School was out for the summer. It was time for friends, vacations, parties -
and a full-time job?
For one York teen, that couldn't have been more true.
Dover Area High School junior Bobbie Mellott, 16, worked at Strine Printing
in Manchester Township.
Her mother, Lynn, works there in the packing plant and helped her land a
position in the hand-bindery department.
Bobbie said the job is different from most summer jobs because it is full
time, whereas most teens work just a few days per week for three or four hours a
day.
"I work eight hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 3:20 p.m., every weekday," Bobbie
said. She admits that, while the hours were long and strenuous, she appreciated
the experience because it "will prepare me for a full-time job after college,
where I'm working year round."
Bobbie's day began at 5:15 a.m. She said that climbing out of bed that early
during the summer was, at times, a little tough because "most kids are off
during the summer months and sleep until noon."
