Work

Post by Tayz »

Just wondering what the odds are of a 17 year old getting a job on a ride at the Geelong show? And if i could what would be the best way about it?

More than likely if you've had no experience you could be in a ticket box, or maybe on the deck of a ride. Just walk around whilst set-up is happening and ask around

And a lot of the time you may even end up in a joint for the first time... And honestly, working a joint can be incredibly fun! I spent a good 4 years working a joint and the deck of a ride... and I actually think I sometimes preferred the joint!

Not sure whether I'd have the personality but I would love to work a joint and reckon I could do it. Taking tickets is also possible but operating a ride, not for me... I'll stick to being a passenger I think!
