Off the Books Job as a Teenager Forum

[bnssweeney]

Hi all, I was unable to find a thread on this so I might as well ask here.

When I was 16/17 I worked off the books at a restaurant. I was just looking for a summer job. When schools ask if you have work experience, would I mention it or not mention it? How frowned upon is working off the books in high school?

Once again, I was in high school and was looking for some side money.

Why would you tell them you worked off the books.

Get that money playboii.

It's ill-advised to mention any high school experience on your law school resume, so you should leave it out along with the rest. It might make for a good topic on your PS though, unless you sold weed out back while you were on smoke break or something.

Lol no, I didn't push drugs on my breaks. No worries.

And okay, thanks for the input. I was just a little unsure because the theme I got from TLS was "disclose everything", but I guess that really just applies to those with C&F issues. Thanks!
