Teenagers who work
You, teenager, yes you, crying because your parents tell you to be more independent with money? get over it, and better make money on your own. Although work on teenagers is a controversial topic, it has pros and cons. Today i´m going to help you with tips and ideas.
First of all, what are the best jobs for teenagers? If you have a good memory and are sociable you can be a waiter or if you are responsible and good caregiver you can try babysitter or walking dogs, if you are good at social media and editing maybe you can be a community manager, even earn money for housework like cleaning or wash the car. Sometimes you don’t know where to start working as a minor, you can try to look for work with someone close to you, family or friends.
How will work help me? Typical question. Working helps to develop skills such as problem solving, knowing how to manage money, responsibility and being more organised.
As long as work doesn’t interfere with study, hours of rest and you have some free time, working as a teenager is a good way to have benefits and lessons for future life.
