<p>I had to get a job when I turned 16 in-order to drive and pay for the expenses. It turned out for the better in my case because I ended up becoming a “Team Trainer” My ALO along with my interview for my nomination both were helped by my job because of the leadership I possessed. I would say if you do not need a job, do not bother, but if you get one try to work your way up to a better and more significant position.</p>
