Age: 15

Hometown: Marysville

High School: Marysville-Pilchuck

Occupation: Berry picker

Pros: The good thing about this job is it gives a teenager an opportunity to get some money over the summer. You get a good dose of sun, and have fun with people your age. It’s not a hard job for a teenager.

Cons: The not-so-good thing about this job is waking up early. Summer, for a teenager, is a time to sleep in. The strawberry fights get you all red, sticky and cranky.
