Mom of 17-year-old daughter makes her apply to 42 jobs: 'You owe your child a huge apology'

Applying to jobs makes you appreciate every moment of your life where you weren't sitting there applying for jobs. It's grueling: after you spruce up your resume to current standards, and find a job you're qualified for, you have to apply. Sometimes their website will make you retype your entire resume, and you just have to do it, or else forfeit your chance of gaining employment there. Then, you wait for between 3 days to 2 years and maybe, just maybe, you'll hear back from the company. Although people do get interviews, a lot of the time, you'll just get sent a rejection email. 

When you're a teenager, everything seems more dramatic anyway, and when you're applying to jobs, you have literally no experience to put on your resume whatsoever. It can feel defeating, even as you apply to minimum wage jobs. That's why this teen is so upset at her mom, and commenters are rallying around her. 

Next, read about these victorious workers who quit their bad jobs, like one person who bragged, "I had a new job lined up before the end of the day."
