Dream part time job🥺
So I just turned 16 late last month, and now that I’m old enough for a job. I’m more anxious than before to get a job, but I have a big issue, transportation. My mom doesn’t have a car nor does anybody in my household even know how to drive, the part time job I’m anxious to apply for is two towns away from me, not a long drive but the two people I have in mind to frequent between as transportation, could become difficult. And if I risk having transportation complications then I could lose my job if I actually get it. Another issue is that my mom is on welfare, it’s what we survive off of my sister got a job and they cut our EBT off, if I get a job then I don’t know what they’ll cut her down to, but Ik it won’t be good. So what should I do?

Become well researched on your sister's situation and what will happen with benefits for your family before acting. You don't want to do anything that will screw things for other people. It's hard to get on assistance but remarkably easy to be taken off of it if you don't know the rules and must adhere.
When it comes to getting a job it is important to be able to get there for your shifts in all kinds of weather. You really can't do that by taking the bus two towns over. If anything got fouled up with missing a bus or being stranded out there you're cooked because nobody can come get you. It's also a bad idea because you'll be spending as much as you're making on bus fare.
It may be a great job but if it's that far away and you haven't a ride it won't work. You can't expect others to get you to and from. Even if it's not a long drive believe me when you add snow and public transport it's hell.
If I were you I would focus on doing something you know you would enjoy close to home and not rush into getting a job just because you now are eligible. You want to find the right situation and one where you can do it without any complications. I would wait most definetly if worried about your family's benefits and what your job could do to them.

We are entering early retirement, and my eyes are really bad, enough to affect my work so I haven't been able to keep jobs. We use EBT also and if your earnings go over the amount DSHS tells you, then they will take money away on EBT, but that can go back up if you lose a job. For that reason, we both were working only part time and told our employers why our hours and pay couldn't go over the stated amount. I do know that if a big enough company, there may be a ride share program or one could be creted. I was part of that for a while, being the rider always, and two others sharing the driving. I don't remember having to pay anything as I was on their way. If you are a bit out of the way, you might pay the driver a little per month, not much as they are already going to the same destination as you. Unfortunately you have to take a bus until that can be arranged if possible. Now you don't know if you will get your dream job even if a
pplying so if may be you will have to take something, anything just to get work so best to then take a job clsoer to home to you don't have to worry about missing work. If you live anywhere remotely close to ares that get snow, and its bad enough, buses won;t run or take alternative routes and as I found, dont stop at all bus stops if there is snow. Happened to me eons ago, happened to my daughter trying to get her baby to Dr. appt. She's wrapped them both in a blanket and the bus kept passing her. Finally a stranger asked if she was homeless, nope just bus-less. Most teen jobs are fast food. But there are some companies that get busier in the summer and need to hire part time for summer as was the case in a large moving company I worked at. We ended up hiring 2 or 3 teens every summer as that was a busier time than other times of the year. Hope it all works out for you.
