Does this job offer sound legitimate?
jenny
I have gotten a job offer from a good friend of mine. His uncle owns a computer programming/servicing company which is expanding their web design sector. It's a small tight-knit family business and they only want to hire people that they know and trust. I am not formally trained in web design, but I am skilled in designing. I was told I will be training for this job over the summer to increase my knowledge of computer repair and also website coding and maintenance. I was also told that I would be making around 3k a month, which is quite a large sum for someone as young as I am (17). Naturally, I am quite excited about his offer, but it seems almost unreal. This friend is an extremely good friend, would do anything for the people in his life, and has never lied to me. Should I be skeptical about this offer or does it seem legitimate to you?

You know the saying, "if it sounds too good to be true... etc." could wind up being a good way to lose an extremely good friend. 36k a year doesn't seem too unrealistic for someone experienced in the field, just do the seeing before the believing |

It sounds pretty good to me. Of course, I would go lower, because you can't really complain in today's job market. |

You need to have one or both of your parents check it out with you. 17 y.o. girls should never trust anyone. |
