In the summer of 2008, Jacob Karlin, currently a senior at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, scored his first job: selling doughnuts on the boardwalk in Ocean City. But the doughnuts he made from scratch each morning were still sitting there, un-bought, each afternoon. It wasn't long before the manager gathered the staff. "We can't afford to keep most of you," he said. Just like that, Karlin was unemployed.
