<p>I've worked at McDonald's since June, a couple months after I turned 16. I'm moving next summer so I'll have to quit. The problem is they only let me work about 3 hours a week. They tell me to come in for five hours on Saturday and then send me home early. I don't know why. I told them I could work any time that isn't school hours, up to 40 hours a week. I think it's because they have a lot of adults working there who probably need the hours more than me.
This hasn't been a big deal to me because I don't have to support my family and I'm just direct-depositing all the money into my savings account, but is it going to look bad that I have a job but only spend 2 hours a week on it?</p>
<p>No, you are a student and that is your primary responsibility. Hopefully you have other ECs you can list as well, since you have had extra time?</p>
