In the USA, many young people take part-time jobs for extra money. To some people, part-time work is the first step towards their dream jobs. Let's look at some examples.

When I was 18, I got my first part-time job—picking oranges on a farm. It was not a well-paid job and not the one I had dreamed of. But I worked there for 2 years. And then, with the experience, I became a gardener. Now I am 36 and have lived happily as a gardener since then. First jobs may not usually be great but they will give you some useful work experience. —Lucy

I don't really care how much money I can get from my job, and I like to communicate with people. So I found a job to sell hot pies and cold drinks. I got paid ten percent of whatever I sold. A pie cost three dollars, so I would make thirty cents. Every day I sold almost 200 pies and 300 cold drinks. —Tom

I like my part-time job. I have received lots of training and, if I get injured at work, the company will take care of me. I get paid about $15.50 per hour so it's pretty good. Every year it gets increased a little. —Linda
