From Staples! =D
I had an interview today with them, the only problem they had was my age (16) and said that might cause it to not happen (18+ to operate certain machinery; eg. cardboard compactor)
Think I'll get it guys...
Also, I'm really considering making my own business if this doesn't work out. I have a logo already, know what things I need to start (licenses, insurance, permits) and it will be a 1-man show for computer repair in my county/city. _________________

I've been searching for a job for weeks, but I still can't find one. My school didn't help much either. _________________

Keep lookin'!
I have a feeling that I won't be able to get this job due to my lack of age though ;\
I kind of don't really want the job now that I have this idea of making my own business though. _________________

| I was working at Best Buy for a few months, I'm also 16. Staples should be able to hire you at 16, they just have to make a few accomodations. |

General Liability Insurance should be no more than 500 USD annually...
I'll need a General Business License, General Liability Insuance, and maybe a permit to work from home.
I'll create some magnet ads to stick onto the sides of my car I'll be getting.
Copyright will only be needed for my logo and company name for now.
My parents may help pay as well. _________________
