Would me (19, college student) getting a part time job be a good way to make up to my parents for giving them court costs for my underage drinking and obstruction arrest?
So I am 19 and a few days back I got arrested for underage drinking and obstruction. I got transported to the police department and was allowed to leave only after like 6 hours with citations. Since these are misdemeanors not just tickets like speeding tickets and I have to go to court I also need a lawyer, will likely pay fines and do community service so it will cost my parents.
I am not employed right now and just go to college and my parents have always been loving, even getting me a car recently and I feel very bad about letting them down. Since they'll likely have to cash out a few thousand dollars on a lawyer and my fines and they are not cutting my allowance I feel very guilty and am wondering would getting a part time job to pay off my court costs be a good way to make it up?
