This was a question I asked myself before we moved to Delaware. I figured maybe this year Sabreena could try to get a job since she is 14 and places like Chick Fil A hire young teens.
I feel Sabreena getting a job would be good for her as it would teach her responsibility plus allow her to earn a couple of extra bucks during the summer. It is also good for her to start to build a resume and looks good on college applications.
Unfortunately summer is almost over and we haven’t taken Sabreena to find a job as of yet but I am planning on taking her with me to volunteer at the Food Bank of Delaware. I think I am slightly afraid to let Sabreena get a job with her starting high school this year at a new school. I don’t want her to feel pressured and bogged down with school work plus working. Volunteering is great for resumes and college applications. The only bad thing is she won’t make any money this summer.
Maybe next summer after she turns 15 and has a year of high school under her belt we will take her to find a job.
What age did you start working? What age do you feel teens should start working?
