I’m sure the boys have no idea who Huey Lewis and the News are, but they both are now working for a living. Well, actually not a living but some extra spending money. Alex is still technically working for Best Buy but taking a small hiatus as he is now working on completing his internship for school. The internship should be done in the middle of November, just in time for him to jump back into Best Buy and get some hours during the holiday. As he is going to school for Hospital administration he is doing his internship at Vidant Hospital, it’s the local teaching hospital in Greenville. Right now all he is actually doing is helping people to check in/out and getting them to their rooms or out to their cars, but eventually he will be learning more about the paperwork/clerical side of the business. Although it is a non-paid internship, they do give him a parking pass and he gets $6.00 a day for food… not bad.
Sam, meanwhile, got his first job this year working for Party City. The manager at the store, Chris, also hired Alex for his first job at Toys R Us before they closed. Obviously we probably should get Chris something for Christmas this year. 🙂 Sam basically is just a cashier and it only pays $8.35/hr, but it is his first job. Unfortunately, Sam has already been late 3 times in the short amount of time he has worked there… not necessarily because he was running behind, but because he can’t seem to read his schedule right? One day we hope Sam will learn how to use a calendar because he never seems to know when he is working, having a sporting event or going out with friends. If only Apple or Google could invent a calendar for his phone since he seems to be on that most of the time. 🙂
All in all we are very proud of both boys as they have developed a pretty good work ethic and both are learning the value of money in the process.
