the government once again screws me(dont wanna know about that) saying 15 year olds cant get real jobs because its child labor. then they complain because kids today are reckless and thats because their parents have to buy everything for them instead of earning it!

anyway i work every afternoon at my aunts resturant for about 2 hours and if i wanted too i could play paintball every other week but i dont(too hot out i practically died last time and it was only 87!)

U can get a job at 14.

Also, u have a job.

its funny that you are whining in the same way that the original poster was putting down. funny funny

I'm 15 and have no job, my mom and dad pay ZERO dollars towards my paint habbit, the only time i can remember is when they bought me a case a paint because i won a bet with them.... the only reason i can afford to play paintball is that i do yard work and lots of it, i make a good 100 bucks a week wich does an ok job buying paint and stuff, but i'll have to get a car soon....

Word up, I have the same feeling at times, I'm 22, going on 40, and makin the Phatty Cizash working a networking job ;-)

I swear, every post out there (not necessarily here) is some kid asking how many lawns to mow before he can buy a 12 volt revy or something. That or "My mommy hates me and wont let me buy a Talon". Sheesh, I suggest these kids either move out or give up paintball until they can get a job. You want to know how people afford this sport? They earn money. It's that simple. Sorry, just in a ranting mood today.

And his post count is 19!!!!!!!!! What the %&@#. Dude have you been around here for like a month. COME ON!!!! Show some links to some of these 'posts'. Otherwise this needs thread is pretty un-credible.


Technically (not trying to be too hard here but...) that is also circumventing the curse filter and it is a rules violation. But its the better option of all of them if you must. But you realy do not need to - cphilip

The thing that confuses me is why these kids even have 1300 dollar guns. Go buy some bubble gum or something. And to all those laboring in their grueling 35 hour work week, thats still five hours below full time. How many other teenages here have worked multiple jobs and a 70 hour work week? Raise your hands, come on prove me wrong. I've never spent more than 400 bucks on a gun either, and that's still a ghastly amount. Oh and that 70 hours wasn't working at a fast food place or behind a desk, it was apprenticing in construction. Try carrying massive spools of wire weighing 50 pounds through rafters in the future attic of a house balancing on rafters 40 feet above the concrete floor in the basement when its 120 degrees inside the house.

Ok done ranting. Anyway, heres some advice to the 15 year olds. Do good in school so you don't get some grunt job working outside rain or shine while the illegal Mexican immigrants are roofing the house and throwing down 2 by 4s that have nails stuck through them without caring where they land or who they land on. It is not fun.

[kosmo]

Oh yeah and if that isn't enough for you, get Doobie in here and he can tell you what REAL work is.

[Gotenks]

I'm 16.

I worked my *** for my autococker, and its only a stock 2k2 vert feed. The reason I am not getting a mag is cuz I'm gonna wait till I can get the cash for an e-mag.

I also work hard to play.

I don't have a car... My parents offered me their 96 accord, but I refused, I will however drive it around

Circumventing the curse filter or triggering it is a rules violation. You are warned. Be carefull. Even though that one is not too bad nor used in a bad way...a light warning- cphilip

I just joined AO recently but i've been in the sport for a good 5 years now. I was just commenting on what I think is very odd as far as the paintball magazines and forums are showing. Actually, AO is a great forum and everyone is very friendly and non-judgemental.

I'm not saying young people are bad or anything like that, i'm just kinda tired of reading a magazine or weeding through threads asking advice on how to get money for some 2000 dollar gun when the kid can still get grounded by his mom. Maybe that's just the sign of the times.

COW!

"Don't Have A :Cow" Man!"

Its not that kids that are bad is the old ones like you that cause the problems!

I'll be 18 next month, but I just don't post much here.

I played paintball since I was 14, and I've payed for every cent. No, I do not have an allowance. I did odd jobs for parents/relatives when I did not have a "real" job, and since I was 15, I carried a part-time job.

I don't think that I could ever do without a job for more than a month or so. Having $$ is always nice. Even though you don't have as much free time, your free time is more worthwhile since you can use that time to do more fun things, like paintball

...most of my free-time was spent goofing-off anyway.

I think Jobs are good for teenagers. It helps keep us out of trouble
