You are making a flimsy argument. If you want kids to be able to save up why not make it $100 an hour? That would make it more likely they could afford college

The point of a teenager having a job is not to support his family, but to have some extra spending money and to gain experience. I don't think a person should make a career out of minimum wage jobs. They have them to gain experience or to fall back on in hard times.

That was my privilege growing up in a middle class family, too. But a whole lot of my friends had jobs to support their families as soon as they were old enough to legally work.
- _-david-_ 4y agoI am talking about what teenage jobs should be, not what they are for many people. I think raising the minimum wage to $25 is going to make it harder for teenagers with no experience to get a job. Right now they can get $10 an hour, if the minimum wage is $25 they won't get the job and will get $0. Which is better for the poor family?

- _-david-_ 4y agoI am not being willfully ignorant. I know about the situation you are talking about. I was not talking about that situation. Thanks for replying I guess though.
