Whether you want to make a little bit of money on the side, or seriously prepare for college, a job has many benefits. Having a job in high school offers the opportunity to help out a company, learn time management, communication skills and provide you with some cash. There is amazing news if you are in fact interested in acquiring one of these positions. Retail jobs and food service jobs are on the rise wherever you go, looking for candidates just like you. I have compiled a list all in one place, if you are interested.

Even if you don’t want to travel far, you can stay close to Liberty with a job right on the corner, QuikTrip. You must be 16 years or older to apply, and you could earn up to $13.50 an hour.

New businesses are popping up in need of help. On Bryan Road a new Mudslingers Drive-Thru Coffee has emerged and has posted a now-hiring sign on their window.

According to Indeed, a resource listing job opportunities, the Lake St. Louis location of Aldi is looking for part-time store associates; you must be 18 years of age to apply.

Starbucks is hiring baristas, Sonic needs carhops, and countless retail stores need associates.

If you are stuck, check out the help wanted bulletin board in the cafe of Liberty, or take a drive around town, help is very much needed.
