Hello. This is my first post/thread on this forum as the topic is very relevant to me at the moment. However, I certainly intend to become more involved in the community as I have only recently become fully vegan and thus the support from a forum group is very enticing!
Anyhow; recently I've acquired my first "real" job (I'm fifteen years old) at a sushi store. Of course, this means they prepare and serve a variety of dishes that contain animal products.
Personally I can justify working there, as I don't have to eat or purchase the food myself. Being as young as I am, anywhere I acquire a job is bound to contribute to animal cruelty in some form or another; until such time that I can be self-employed or work for a vegan company, this is likely to be true. Still, I feel quite guilty to the point of considering quitting.
I would very much like to hear how others might feel about working for an establishment that sells animal products, in the hope that it will give me a better understanding of how I feel about this job.
Thank you!
