So you’re making money? Now what?
Sunday, August 16th, 2009
One of the best parts about traveling across the continent speaking to tens of thousands of students is getting to meet the other awesome speakers.
A good speaker friend of mine, Grant Baldwin, is the Master Jedi of showing young people how to make, save and invest their money. He’s even showing teens how to go to college for FREE! I reached out to Grant to help you figure out to do with all the cash you are making at your new part-time job!
Here’s what he had to say:
So you landed that part-time dream job huh? The gig fits within your schedule, you get to work with friends, they pay you in a real currency (not Monopoly money), and you’re not having to scrub toilets with your toothbrush. Pretty cool…congrats! But we all know the fun part isn’t the work. Sure, it’s not a bad job, but you’re not working for free. You’re working to get paid…can I get an AMEN?! (more…)

Maybe you don’t actually dream about a part-time job (some of you might actually have nightmares about it) but you need to stop asking your mommy for money. Yes, she loves you, she has to but you’re too old for that (money not love). Besides, a part-time job is almost as good for you as carrots.

Fall Into the Gap: 7 Great reasons to take a Gap Year (part 2)
Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Here’s the last 4 reasons why you should take a gap year!
4. Get Qualified
A gap year isn’t just a year to waste away in hostels. It’s a year for you to get some experience and qualifications.
Get your TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate or your Dive Master scuba diving License. Learn some new skills while volunteering on a farm in Australia or gain work experience while working for a winery in France. Learn how to cook at a restaurant in India or guide English tours through the pyramids in Egypt. I have personally met somebody who has done each of the things I have mentioned. All of them are always employed and happy because they’re doing what they are passionate about.
These types of qualifications and experience(s) will definitely make you stand out in any pile of resumes or school applications. (more…)
