103 7
Now that you know what kind of job you really want, the next thing to do is to find places that will hire you to do that kind of work.
You got it-you need to go find your employer! However, before considering a job, it would be good to make sure that it's going to be a safe place to work at.
A safe environment has:
  1. Good ventilation.
  2. Sufficient lighting.
  3. Temperature control (heater or air conditioning if necessary).
  4. Chairs and desks that promote good sitting posture.
  5. Emergency equipment such as fire extinguisher, telephone and a first-aid kit.
In addition, if you are young, you should never be asked to do things like:
  1. Operating power equipment like forklifts and meat slicers.
  2. Working at a dangerous height or depth like on roofs or scaffolding.
  3. Working directly with electrical power.
  4. Travelling in unknown or high-risk neighbourhoods, especially late at night.
  5. Working alone in a cash-based operation like in a convenience store and gas stations.
  6. Accepting "under the table" wages.
    This would mean that the pay you get is not reported to the federal and state governments and therefore it's illegal.
Therefore, if an employer instructs you to do any of the above things as part of a job that you are considering, don't even accept it! This is because, no matter how well the job might pay or how cool it may seem, any of the above issues could threaten your safety or even cause you a lot of grief.
