Can you even hire teenagers anymore? Is it still common for teenagers to work (outside of internships)? I can’t say I ever knew anyone who worked before university and in my school some teachers actively discouraged it.
(I went to high school in Canada in the early 2010s).
Although the hiring bias makes sense. Of course you choose relatives over strangers so that the money stays in the family.
- Ralo 4y agoI believe before 18, you need your parents and school principle to sign off. I don't know many kids who didn't work directly out of high school, even with university but in that case, they're just being carried by their parents and will skip directly from "first job" to "their life long career" after graduation.
- Pasorrijer 4y agoNot sure this is true... I started working at 15 and put in an application and worked. No parental consent and definitely no school involvement. This would have been in 2005-6...
