Uh, no. [/quote]

Why? I worked in fast food and as a checkout girl at a supermarket and went in to get two Ivy League degrees with honors.  I would actually say that it taught me about the value of education so I worked that much harder in college so I could get a better job upon graduation because I saw what the lives of adults were like who held these jobs.[/quote]
It has nothing to do with that, I worked fast food too. It's her age. She's too young, those places legally can't hire her. [/quote]

Child labor laws vary by state. I worked in fast food at 14, and in DC 14-year-olds can legally work. Places may not want to hire 14-year-olds but it is not because they are prohibited by law. https://hr.georgetown.edu/employment-services/managers/hiringminors.html

According to Arlington, 14 year olds can no longer get work permits:

But Virginia says this:

Surprisingly, dance studios are listed as places where under 16 year olds are banned from working, but dance studios often have assistants working who are as young as 13 or 14.[/quote]

I work in a dance studio and we have 13 and 14 year old assistants that are using those hours for school to get SSL hours.  It is not a paid position.[/quote]
