I'm not begging and I can choose.

I'd be much happier stacking shelves then working at a fast food restaurant. I might apply for a job at Staples, that way I get a 15% discount on everything in stores and 20% off of their print and copy services.

uhmmm well.......... you cant expect to make THE BIG MONEY with a side job as a 16 year old........ but decently paid jobs are better than nothing

I know I can't expect much, that's why I'm even considering a job right now.

Not really, I just haven't applied. I'm only 16 and I don't really know of how many places are willing to hire a 16 year old aside from fast food restaurants and I don't feel like flipping burgers for minimum wage..

I think it wouldn't really matter, as long as your mature and show that you are willing to learn/work. If they are looking for someone like that then you could be lucky! I think retail would be a great start if you don't like the food industry. I absolutely hate food and know nothing about it, so I stood away from those places. There's many other options though; you have your retail staples, wal-mart, grocery store (could be a cashier/stock shelves), or even a place that sells clothing, or sports equipment.

How do you get by without making money?

I feel like there is such a generation gap between us although I am only 10 years older than you.

I had around $4k from mowing and just saving it for the past 10 years or so and over the last year or two I went on a spending spree, I just haven't gotten around to doing anything else for money. I would love to get a job, but a part time job would be 3:30 til 9pm and I don't think I can get all of my school work done in half an hour every day, since I get off at 3pm.

When I need money I'll get it somehow, I have to see how the school year is. If being a junior is as easy as being a sophomore I think I will be able to get a job, though I think I might piss some people off by doing that.

@ Kratos since your Cruiser topic was closed...

This is what I meant by an attentive horse.
This picture is far from being artistic.
Just took it after my cousin gave me a hand with my horses today.
Unless you take a picture of a bucking or rearing horse, you want him to have the ears pointed like on this picture.

Also, anyone has any advice on how I could take a picture of a dark horse, without having the background overexposed, or the horse too dark?
This one is not even that dark and my background is totally unsatisfying....

Also please don't laugh at my horse's mane...
My field has so many of those crappy plants that stick in the mane and tail... I had to cut it short....

Hehe, I don't know how many people know half a thing about a horse Marie that they will make fun of it, at first I thought it was just lying off the other side. My fathers horse has a mohawk cut for about the first foot of his mane and then it flows down his back.

As far as a solution to your problem, underexpose the entire photo and then use a fill flash on the horse, it should help make the background darker and the horse should be bright enough. I have yet to try taking photos of a darker horse anywhere other than outside and I was just messing around when we had him out for a little snack.
