Why is Tommy looking for a job?

Answer: Tommy is looking for a job because he wants to buy a skateboard.

Explanation:

Tommy wants a skateboard, but his father will not allow him to have it. Skateboards are, in his father's opinion, too expensive. He does not understand that this skateboard is not just an ordinary toy for Tommy. It is something he dreams about all the time. Tommy decides to go to the Market Street to find a job, so that he can afford the skateboard himself.
