My daughter is not elgiible bc her dad has a good job! That doesn't seem fair. Why should a kid from a low income family havea better opportunity than my daughter they are egual.

Although you may not qualify for the program bieng offered. have you tried other programs/I was laid off form my job and have been looking for a job. Nothing. but yet i was able to locate 2 jobs for summer for my kids. ages 14 and 15. and it had nothing to do with income guidelines. it was. if they need a job we have one. they do the work they have a job all summer.I am Low income. Heck Im NO income right now. Im treying hard not to get on to food stamps etc..and its hard..but it takes all of us trying....

Um, companies don't tend to hire out of the ghetto cause of the complications that go along with such hirings (I know 'cause I was a Resource Advisor for a large firm) Such comp's include "I can't get a ride to work", "I stayed out way too late on my porch drinking 40's all night and I'm pretty tired", "My mom needs the only car we have today", or the ever popular "My baby is sick" Baby? you're 17...wow. anyways, people who are more "normal" than ghetto folk might not have a hard time finding a job and would not need gov't assistance.....

So, my 17 year old doesn't qualify because we're not poor enough. But, she is poor. She has NO income at all!

also, the only sites listed on the website arein Houston.

complete the story WOAI. that was a waste of 5 minutes. says in clear english "only applicable to low income families". ghetto
