[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a poor kid who started working at 14. For $5.25 per hour (this was the 90s) I worked all day Saturdays and Sundays, plus three days after school 4-9pm. They had me on the schedule Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, NYE, New Year’s Day. I have scars from minor on-the-job injuries. I was 14! I’d smoke weed and cigarettes in the back alley with the old man coworkers. They’d buy me booze. My best work bud was a Newport-smoking high school dropout named Gina. She was fun and liked a drink and she’s worked her way up to $6.25 an hour! I watched people faint because it was so hot during the summer months. One guy would smuggle supplies and equipment out the back door for who knows what. Kids should not be doing this. [/quote] Any kid who started working early like that doesn't want their kids to do it. One of my friends has a mangled hand from a meat slicer from when she worked in a grocery store at age 15. They are also good jobs to introduce you to your first addictive habit, because the adults doing these jobs are miserable and have to self medicated to get through the day.[/quote]
