I would LOVE to work at a cafe but my dad wants me to get a job where i'll have work experience in a certain field T-T
which i can't find anywhere
its genuinely kinda worth it bc u get a lil break from studies to clear your mind and i guess a way to make a bit of money, but my manager is so shitty and always be giving me the most randomest shifts so ig thats the downside

yh my careers teach gives a few options, but they aren't in the field i want (music entertainment or medical/stem)
Im doing work experience in a childcare centre, I wanted to do something stem related before but I realised that this was really my only opportunity to do something different that I may never try, consider something different than what you wan to do in the future.

That's a good point.
How'd you get work at a childcare centre though? did you not need a working with children cert? i think my parents would approve of smth like that

its called nowchem and i know it cause one of my dads friends owns it, i'm pretty sure. its like a 2 hour drive from where i live in wollongong. but i'm not sure if my school would let me lol
i think its just everday chemicals that they make. like soaps, detergents, window cleaners,etc
Why would your school say no then?
