Questions Possibly Related to Benson, North CarolinaProvided By Y! Answers
12 year old girl looking for a job in North Carolina Benson. Should I start a buisness or anyone know...?
Question:
Anoyone know a place in North Carolina,Benson to get a job?
Answer:
Well to get a "regular" job in North Carolina you have to be 16. Jobs that you can hold might be: babysitting, paper route, start a dog walking/babysitting service or house sitting service in your neighborhood. I am not sure if you are in a city or rural area, but if you are in a rural area and there are horse farms in your area you might see if you could clean out stalls, groom horses etc. As a last resort, you might ask your parents if they can give you a job that they might pay you for doing.
Hope this helps!

I'm a resident of Benson, NC. I'm into air-soft. Does anyone know of a store or mall in the area?
Question:
I've been into air-soft for about 3 years now and I'm loving it. It's a thrilling and real-life expierence. I've got an electronic M16 and a spring 6mm handgun, but I need a new rifle. My M16 only holds 50 rounds in the clip and that can be very difficult to work with in a battle. I'm looking for a good spring M16, or even an M4, that holds a good deal of rounds. Like I said, I live in Benson of North Carolina and as many stores as I've been to, I've found nothing of interest. If anyone, anyone, can help me with a local store or mall, a good website, or even a store on the border of NC, please w/b to me. Thank you.
