Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs? We did a survey among two hundred people. According to the result, 78% say yes, and 22% say no. We choose some reasons as follows.
Agree |
Disagree |
Jobs prepare teenagers for later life. Many college graduates look forward to a satisfying job. But almost all job interviewers say they want someone with experience, It's difficult for you to get a job with no work experience. —Linda, Beijing |
It is the time to study. If teenagers start working, they won't have time to study. They might keep on working to achieve someone else's dreams, not theirs. They are too young to decide for their future. —Alice, Wuhan |
Jobs teach responsibility. Teenagers at 14 and older should be allowed to have part-time jobs. They teach responsibility and how to work as a team. What's more, teens who earn money at a young age can learn how to manage personal finances. —Bill, Hefei |
Kids should pay more attention to their education. According to the survey, students who work more than 15 hours per week might lose interest in school and their grades may drop. This means kids might not enter university if they work part-time for a long time —Mike, Shanghai |

Dear Dr. Arthur,
I have a question for you. I make some money by doing chores at home. I sweep the floor, clean the room and walk the dog every day and I also take out the rubbish on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays. I think I do too much because I also take part in some activities after school and I have to do my homework every night.
I can get only $20 a week. And the amount I get is barely enough (勉强够) to go to the movies and buy popcorn(爆米花).
I want more money. I know nay parents are going to say "No", but, it's not fair. I am 14, so I can't get a job yet. But I really need more money to spend time with my friends. I don't know how to make them understand me. Could you please help me?
