In my area of NW Pennsylvania it is easy to get a job, even part time and under 18. Employers are desperate for help.. But I'm sure that's not the case everywhere. Keep looking. You'll get there if you stick with it.

Actually, I thought it looked like it could be a name (maybe because I have a grandson named Sam) so I just Googled it.
