In my opinion, i think teenagers of 16 years of age should be able to work and get paid minimum wage, which is $8.75 an hour. As a 16 year old you are getting to that stage of becoming an adult. As an adult you have to be responsible and take care of your business. The reasons why i think 16 years old need to work or have to work is to have an experience of what its going to be like in the future, when you have a real job. The job that you have as a teenager is to supply you. Examples are buying your own cloths and shoes, buying food, and last, at this age teenagers have a car which also have to use their money to put gas in their car. From my perspective, this summer i'm going to be working two jobs. My first job is caddying, which i've been doing for almost 5 years now. We don't get paid minimum wage, we get paid in cash. I get paid $130 and i can make at least $5,000 a summer. Then my second job is working at a family fun center, which i will get paid minimum wage. All this money that im making go towards my car, cloths, shoes, food, and the bills that i pay for my mom.
At this age teenagers have to realize that having job its a big responsibility and its not a game. Having a job at the age of 16 has its positive and negative opinions. The negative thing is that, teenagers also need to concentrate on their school work and not only their job. That is when their grades start to drop and they eventually drop out of school. The positive thing is that teenagers get to see the real world and how applying for a job works and the things they have to go through in life.
