gas station gender roles

I'm making business cards because next week I'm going to Austin, TX for a journalism conference. I need to get my name out there for internships and eventually jobs. I'm excited

where are you getting your business cards done at? officemax will do 250 cards in b&w for $10. color is $15, i think. if you have photoshop you can create your own really quick and bring it to them on a flashdrive and they usually arrive in 2-3 days!

My stepsister worked the night shift at a 7-11 off the highway in West Branch all summer and she never had any HUGE problems... just a creeper now and then asking if she wanted to have sex with them. Usually a "no" got rid of them. The plus side is that the cops patrol that part of town pretty heavily so if you had any problems you could call them and they'd show up pretty quickly.

I hope you get the job.

I think you are being really naive in thinking that a job like that would be safe. I realize Marquette isn't really the center for violence and crime, but regardless that kind of thinking is what gets one into trouble in the first place. For example, "oh it's northville...blah blah blah." A lot people say that too, but bad shit goes down everywhere, you know? Smaller towns seem to pose more danger because it's likely that there would be not a lot of people around at night if something were to happen when you were working

And just because you are a woman doesn't mean they won't hire you.
Did your mom say that or are you just thinking that's how the people hiring will approach it?
I see women working at gas stations all the time. Remember that one time when we cashed my lottery tickets and there was that lady and that guy working that we had a good laugh with?

I agree.
