    20% of teenagers make their own money, and a majority of these teenagers work 40 hours a week. The minimum wage in Virginia is $7.25, and teenagers also get a paycheck at the end of every week. So that means if teenagers worked 8 hours a day for five days a week they would earn $290 every week.

    I think the idea that many places do not hire because of no experience in a particular field such as a cashier (for most teenagers) is just unreasonable. All I am saying is that companies like Wal-Mart, BJ’s, Best Buy, or Shaws should hire teenagers who apply there so that they can gain enough “experience” and work…

At this point, the person is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. This makes it a very critical and sensitive time frame for identity formation.…

    Based on the essay “Selling and Minnesota” I believe that low paying jobs have a negative effect on a person’s personality. In addition, I think that low paying job is an opportunity, on the other hand a barrier of achieving success and a finer future. Mostly, low paying jobs is an opportunity for teenagers.
