[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teen jobs put upper middle class children around unvetted creepers and bad influences. Some of my best girlfriends in high school were sleeping with their 20-something bosses at dead-end jobs, introduced to drugs, binge drinking, the whole nine. One nearly 30 year old creep manager of a cafe tried to propose to my friend before we left for college. We had just turned 18 that summer.[/quote]

Sorry you didn't get to have any summer fun [/quote]

This is a ridiculous response. I agree -and experienced- what the PP described. In the service industry, there is a LOT of sexual harassment, hooking up, drinking with colleagues. I was harassed by adult men on numerous occasions, even as a young teen.

I'm all for jobs but let's not pretend this doesn't exist. And pretend how hard it is for teens to get summer jobs (outside of lifeguarding and camps). I know lots of young people who were unable to get jobs. Mine did but quit after the inflexibility of schedule (which they said the opposite) and then had an UNPAID internship for a few weeks.
