2. Life Is short Make sure you choose the right Job! Before we start lets have a reality check----

3. The Real World Begins When High School Ends

4. Ten Rules of Life Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teen-ager uses the phrase “It’s not Fair” 86 times a day The real world won’t care as much about your self-esteem as your school does. You may be shocked.

5. Life is not Fair!!!! Sorry, you will not make $40,000 a year as soon as you get out of high school. You may even have to wear a uniform that doesn’t have a designer label on it. If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a bad boss.

6. Get A Job! Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it Opportunity! It is not your parents’ fault if you mess up or you have problems, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!

7. Be Responsible Before your were born, your parents weren’t boring, they got that way by paying bills and listening to you - responsibilities. Life is not divided into semesters and you do not get summers off. You do not even get spring break! You do not get a break after each hour either! You do not get to start over after each semester!

8. Wake UPPPPPPP----- When something is due in the real world, you do not get to turn it in late, you get to find a different job. If you are late to work, you do not get a lock out pass, you get less pay! After 3 late’s, you get to look for a different Job.
