Hi guys, just wondering if anyone had noticed that when we were younger it was the norm to really want a job when you were a teenager(school age). Just a Saturday job, or a couple nights waitressing. It was almost like a pride thing too to say, oh yes I have a job. I know today is different because of the economy etc, but teenagers do cost less to employ after all, so you would think employers would snap them up. I have friends with teenage kids and the majority have absolutely no interest at all in getting a job, in fact they haven't even been around town asking "just wondering if you had any jobs going" I am not critisizing this as I am not a parent. But would like to hear from parent and employers point of view. Has anyone else noticed this too? X
