Courter: Things I wish my kids would ask me

Editor's note: Barry Courter has a 24-year-old son who is a college graduate and a 19-year-old daughter who is a sophomore in college.

Q: Dad, I know I'm the new person on staff, but how do I get more hours?

A: Do a good job, have a good attitude and be willing to volunteer to do things like work weekends, holidays and nights. If you need to, speak to the manager/scheduler, but remember that the question is not "Why aren't you scheduling me?", but "What do I need to do to get more hours?"
