Working Teenagers

            Jobs allow for young people to make money and learn money management at a young age.  Despite the positives to working, many companies will not hire people under the age of 16. This reduces the opportunities for working. If students willing to work are unable to find a job, the potential to learn job skills is wasted doing nothing. Without learning the essential job skills and work ethic, they will be set back in the work place. Potential employers are more likely to hire people with job experience rather than a freshman to the job market.

            There is also the situation of children not wanting to work. These are the people that risk making trouble without anything productive to do. Work ethic is a quality that needs to be instilled into students like this. While they have the potential to work jobs that will train them for the real word, the lure of childish pleasures keeps them from working. While working might not be the most fun thing in the world, it is necessary for a person before entering a “working world.”
