I am 17, f and am moving into college August 25th. My mom has been begging me to get a job for a while, I have tried to only be turned down every time because I am not 18. Well, she just filled out an application for a job in my hometown and expects me to travel home on weekends to work if I get the job. I told her I don't think I can handle getting used to college life that quick, get good grades, make new friends and travel to and fro to go to work on weekends and I even told her that I don't think I would be able to come home that much because I have to keep a 3.0 to be able to stay in my major, yet she still filled out the application.. herself. I can't come home to work on weekends, while trying to do reading work or writing a paper. . I even told her that I will look for a job sophomore year so I will at least be used to college life then or even wait til second semester at school to get a job on campus. Granted, I don't even know if I will get the job or not but she's so stuck on me getting a job that she went as far as filling out an application.. for ME. What do I do? (link)

Just because you aren't 18 doesn't mean you can't have a job. When you turn 16 (in most states), you are allowed to work. So why would you turn each job down?? That stupid.
A job is a job. Many people would be thrilled to actually get hired. If you want to be treated like an adult, you have to start to act like one. Just because you are in college doesn't mean you shouldn't have a job. Freshman, or not. 85% of college students are working fulltime, or part time jobs. I'm in college, and I'm working part time, and it isn't hard at all. My work is very flexible with my college, so if I need a day off to study, or whatever-than so be it.

I said the place I apply turns me down because I am not 18. I apply, they turn me down. I'm trying at multiple places.
