Does your teen spend all of his or her free time playing video games, talking on the phone or hanging out with friends that don’t really meet with your approval? Is your son or daughter always nagging you for money? Perhaps it’s time to tell your teen to get a job.

"Teens" cannot get jobs until they are 18yrs old and then there are 100s standing in line for one position, at a retail store. How do you teach responsibility when there is no opportunity??

The unemployment rate in CA 2011 in many counties is over 25 per cent. That figure does not even take into account he thousands that thev given up any hopeof finding work.. A local story in Norcal stated over 70 people lined up for one janitor job. My child, lined up for 5 hours for one ittle fast food place job, which ruled her out becasue she was not 18 and would not be able to use the sandwich splicer under child labor laws. Kids would like responsibility if there was a reward of a job, money, friends, etc. Reality check no jobs for teens, ecept maybe raking leaves or babysitting which doesnt give any skills in the "real world" to earn your way through college to become a valuable member of society. Our society is dog eat dog,and it is scary out there. what people will do to hang onto what ever work there is.There are no jobs but there sure are alot of empty homes in foreclosure in America and homeless people. last year over70 people line up for one janitor job.

What a great lesson you taught your teenager! He stood in line with 69 other people to get the OPPORTUNITY to earn a paycheck! That's America in this decade! So now he knows first hand that when he finishes college, there will be fierce competition for jobs! (and yes, it's normal for teens to get dishwasher jobs before graduating college-most of us have)

I recieved a job when I was 15. it is not impossible, and it was very rewarding. Thanks for this great article(the job was a lifeguard, and from that I have moved up to customer service manager).
