The 17yo... at work?? I wonder what's the minimum working age in memeland.
This was one of the "culture shocks" for me too so I will explain.
It's pretty much the norm for highschoolers to be working part-time during school days. One fo the main arguments against increasing minimum wage is "I don't want a highschooler making as much money."
Middleschoolers also often have jobs tho it's usually either working for a relative or simply not on paper.
Not on paper ones also often pay less than minimum wage, in my case I was working in a warehouse at 13 for $5/hr.
This is for Texas, idk what other states do.
I was 13 when I had my first job (paper round) and then 15 when I worked in a pub kitchen. The pub job was a great laugh! They definitely made me appreciate the value of money and work.
I started at 15 so i could afford a car.
It was 14 for me. But I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, kids shouldn't be laborers and it was mostly a very bad experience.
I started working at 15. And I am not saying this in a 'back in my day!' type of way where I think child labor is good - its sad.
When did you start working? Here in the states its pretty normal to have teenagers work part time after school. I did so I would have money to spend on doing stupid stuff with friends haha
Minimum here is 18, so 18.
Yeah i get the temp crappy jobs kids get, but still, 18.
Maybe if you work at your parents' small shop or something you could pull it off, but they could get in trouble.
Oh that's kinda crazy. The minimum age here is like 14, albeit with a huge amount of restrictions. I think it got my first job at 15
But I was working in my parents restaurant since i was like 6 or 7. Its "technically" not allowed but people mostly turn a blind eye to parents using their kids as labor, unless its otherwise abusive/neglectful

I think we should make dating apps even worse, and just let humanity die out naturally.
