You should have been hanging out with your friends, doing sports, doing art, doing things that only come to people under age. The thing you will pine for when you’re old is your salad days. Those days were swindled from you so someone could find cheaper labor.
Honestly have to agree. A few hours on a weekend, MAYBE. But between homework, family expectations, extracurriculars in and outside of school, and keeping up other relationships, I don’t think kids should be working much if at all until they’re 16 or 17.
These laws are also being coupled with laws that repeal restrictions on working hours for underage workers. Imagine being 14 and having to leave school at 3, go home, do homework until 5, then go to work until 1 in the morning, and come home just to go to school at 7. That’s where these laws are heading.
Lol it’s absolutely fine and good to have a teenager making money. You’re not sending them fishing for 3 months at a time. There is very little risk to safety or health at a restaurant or grocery store.
In Europe teenagers can work from a certain age during holidays. It’s very restricted and it should be. At that age they should be focusing on school. If you let those pushing these changes in the USA have it their way you’ll have 10 year olds mining coal again pretty damn soon.
Somebody needs to go study up on their history. Allowing children to work has historically only ever been done to exploit cheap labour and abuse children
They had a kid at the register to suppress wages

In Canada we have a minimum wage and a student minimum wage. Guess which is less…
Which province? Not true in Quebec.
Sounds like a Canada problem.
