About the Essays, Part 2

It has been two year since I started my career at Science Academy I am currently a senior. I will be graduating this year and be part of the Class of 2010. I recently turned 18, I am now and adult:)/:(

I obtained a job during the summer of Junior year, after sophomore year. I still have that same job, at Marshall, part of the TJX Company. I have stayed their because the scheduling is flexible and part time which is great for me, due to the fact that I am still in school and part take in extracurricular activities. That is also why they have a high employment rate of high school an college students, at least in my store. The pay is not so good, minimum wage. It is difficult to get a raise, I have learned from co-workers who have been working there for many years. Some have even left to get a job somewhere else. I have seen my co-workers come and go; I am actually one of the most experienced workers, with the most time there. It has been a good experience, the company is definitely scared of UNIONS.

Sort of got of on a tangent there, I had been wanting to Artie about my job for a while now. Now that I have shared that with you I want to talk about the following essays that I will post. They are again assignments for a class, and AP economics course. The deal is I have to write a biography of sorts on three prominent economic figures; Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, and, Milton Friedman. I have completed the first biographies, I just need to do the essay on Milton Friedman. I have actually read up on them and learned quite a lot. I hope you find them entertaining :) and informative. Have a good one readers:)
