...the BIG DEBATE: Should teenagers work while they study?
In some countries it’s normal for teenagers to have a part-time job while they are at school. Some work on Saturdays and during the school holidays, others have a part-time job for a couple of hours after school.
I think the best way for teenagers to understand the true value of money is to get a part-time job while they are at school. As well as earning extra pocket money, they will learn a lot of useful skills that they dontaskt learn at school.
I don’t think ittasks a good idea for teenagers to work. I think that teenagers need to concentrate on their studies as well as relax and have a good time. They should not get a job until they are adults.
Paper rounds
In the UK and the USA, paper boys and paper girls get up very early every morning and go to their local newsagent to collect their sack of newspapers. Each worker has a paper round - a list of houses and streets where they have to deliver a daily newspaper. When they finish their paper rounds they go to school like the rest of their friends. They get paid at the end of the week and usually earn between 15 pounds and 25 pounds a week.
Saturday jobs
A lot of teenagers have Saturday jobs working in big department stores, restaurants, hairdressers or supermarkets. These places usually have a lot more customers on Saturdays and that’s why there are plenty of Saturday jobs available for young people. An average wage for a Saturday is about 22 pounds for the whole day.
Babysitting
Babysitting is the perfect job for a teenager who wants to earn some extra money without really doing very much. As soon as the child you are babysitting for is in bed, you are free to do your homework, watch TV or read a book. Babysitters’ pay varies, but you can earn up to 10 pounds an hour.
Test your memory!
