- reidjs 4y agoThere are a ton of things broken about our system. If you don’t make enough money, you are entirely dependent on the kindness of your friends and family. If you don’t have a large network of friends and family who can help you out, you’re completely screwed And living on the street That said, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to encourage children to work, depending on the minimum age and what kind of regulations are in place. I’ve had jobs more or less since high school. I was absolutely taken advantage of in my youth - low pay for the amount of labor, but looking back, I was paid in experience.
