I had my first job folding and delivering flyers when I was 13 and back then already asked why it was not child labor to no satisfactory response. I later came to realize that the reason it is not child labor is simply because it's not something associated therewith, had I earned my money making sneakers, something no more or less laborious, it would be called so. Laws are rarely the function of what something factually is, as that would be far too boring and sensible and actually fix problems; they are invariably based on what particular segment of society the activity is associated with, of course: — thus all the clean man's hard drugs such as alcohol and tobacco are completely legal.
