I had this concern until I realized teenagers have to go to school so there’s a huge chunk of the day that they cannot work. Adults have to take those shifts.

I had this concern until I realized teenagers have to go to school so there’s a huge chunk of the day that they cannot work. Adults have to take those shifts.
This realization also led me to determine that these jobs aren’t purely for teenagers despite hearing all my life burger-flipping was for teens.

- 8note 5y agoNot all teenagers are required to go to school. Dropping out is possible, and usually 18/19 y/o don't have high school
- Kluny 5y agoPlus, kids from unstable homes where the parents need them to earn money will sometimes drop out of school to help their family. It's best not to incentivize that.
- leetcrew 5y agovery specific problems have very specific solutions. if this is the main concern, make it illegal to schedule school-aged children for shifts during school hours.
- Jcowell 5y agoAnd then that creates other sorts of specific problems. What of mine conventional schools? Seniors who make their own schedule ? Home school kids ? Are now drop-outs dropped from making an income ?
- Robotbeat 5y ago18/19 year olds shouldn't have a lower minimum wage. They're adults. Younger teens, sure.
