Spotlight: MyFirstPaycheck.com
A few weeks ago at the Facebook Developers Garage in Philadelphia, I met Austin Lavin who is the young CEO behind MyFirstPaycheck.com; a website that provides suburban high school students with assistance in finding their first job.
Myfirstpaycheck.com was created by Celeste, a 16-year-old sophomore at Lower Merion High School and her older brother Austin, with the help from friends and family members. As Celeste set out to find her first job, she realized that she didn’t even know where to begin. The whole job world was open to her, which was a bit overwhelming and even intimidating. She sought help from her older brothers who have earned paychecks doing everything from mowing lawns to serving ice cream, but soon expanded her questioning to a broader circle of acquaintances.
If you were a high school student, would you use Austin’s service?
