When I was a teen, I had a strong aversion for being talked down to, and was resistant to attempts to patronize even if they were well-intended and even if they benefited me.
Paul's leaving a significant fraction of the intended audience on the table here IMO: teens who are resistant to being told what to do and how to do it. :)

- gcr 3y agoWell keep in mind that that's explicitly the audience pg's targeting with the article: > But you will avoid many of the annoying things > that come with a job, including a boss telling > you what to do. I happen to think that a healthy resistance to authority and sensitivity to condescension is a long-lasting tradition of being a teenager, but to each their own. :)
