I mean, I know that somehow I need to start making money too, you know, survive and pay off massive amounts of school loans, but how? It seems like I’m either stuck or that every time I make a move in one direction it turns out to be the wrong one. I just graduated, and now I have no freaking clue what to do. Most millennials probably find themselves in a situation similar to mine. Throughout our lives, we are always faced with the next task and the most efficient way to get it. I’ll be speaking from the perspective of a millennial, because since when do millennials not write about every thought and feeling they have? But this is a lesson that people of any age can appreciate. Because of this, we’re failing to notice how we come to decide what we want, and how that process, no matter how long it takes, is never a waste of time. Somehow, we’ve come to believe that if we don’t have exactly what we think we want right away, that we’re wasting time. This is valuable not only for working with the public, but for having any job. You learn how to work with and tolerate coworkers who have different working styles, interests, and backgrounds than you. Let's be honest, one lousy customer cussing you out because he or she ordered the wrong menu item despite your effort to help them simply isn't worth having to find another job. It's extremely hard to not get angry, but losing your cool could mean losing your job.
ToleranceĪs a working individual, you will have to learn to tolerate rude customers, bosses who seem to not care about your needs, and coworkers who are extremely different than you are.
You'll realize just how hard it is to work a minimum wage job, and you'll definitely have more respect for those who do also. Not only does having a job with the public teach you to respect your customers, but it also teaches you to respect employees when you are the customer! Many people seem to forget that fast food and retail workers are humans too. You'll find that being respectful makes it easier to get your requested time off, good shifts, raises, etc. It is important to give your customers, bosses, and fellow employees the respect that you desire from them.
Okay, so you may not always get respect, but it is definitely necessary that you give it.
