We have a lot going on in so little time. I must admit I will cherish this last month with you guys because I guarantee you it will fly by. So let's make it AWESOME!

You will be "hired" this week and have your 1st job in your lives. You will learn how to budget your money and an idea on how important it is to maintain a job.
