One question that crosses the parents of a teenager's mind is “When should they work?” The answer these days seems to be at a much older age than when I was young. At 15 ½ I had already been working for a full year. Granted, I was in a hurry to move out, grow up and all to do all the things that most of my peers were happy to delay. Even so, teenagers today seem to be in even less of a rush, as do their parents.
At 15, none of my son’s friends have had a job of any kind yet. Even though some are a year or two older! It seems like parents today better understand the importance of grades and education over rushing their children into the workforce. Also, children today seem much busier with sports, camps, lessons and other time-takers than when I was young. All of these forces seem to add up to young adults having their first jobs in college, some even later.
Personally, I see much to be learned and gained in a business...
