Working at ARK PET & SUPPLY
Zev
During Career Studies Week, I worked at Ark Pet & Supply in Carpinteria.

At first I thought it would be a lot of work, and that I would end up cleaning rat cages. Well...that is partly true, but I had a great time while I was at it! Actually they only clean rat cages once a week so it was OK, but I still would have rather started my first day with something a bit easier. Overall though, the job was great! I sometimes got sent to coffee shops and banks and stuff, and I was also told "get something for yourself too." On Saturday, there were very few customers, and pretty much all day, I got to hold a hamster and drink Dr. Pepper. So for me overall, I guess I learned that work can be fun...and also that rats can be messy!
