Teens need Jobs

Before the days of excessive immigration, our kids worked to cut the grass and rake the leaves and deliver the newspapers and did many jobs.

 

When they became age 14, they could work, with their parent’s written permission, as dishwashers and janitors and in other jobs. 

 

When they became are 16, they could get their own cars and drive to jobs in fast food, restaurant work, grocery store work, retail store work, lifeguarding and other jobs.

 

Most of these jobs have now been taken by immigrants, minorities and college grads.

 

Teens need jobs to learn responsibility and to learn to work. It gives them structure and an appreciation of self-reliance.
