As a nanny for teenagers, I have seen various thoughts on whether or not they should also have a job while they are in high school. When I was in high school, I worked by babysitting and working at the local drugstore during the weekend and holidays throughout the school year. My “kids” have worked during the summer at various places such as a clothing store, baseball camp and SAT test proctor.
I found this article, At What Age Should Your Teen Get a Job? on The Heavy Purse, discusses reasons why teens should have a job and so forth. Sicorra of Tackling Our Debt wrote the article.

And not encouraging them to do this is only setting them up for potential failure. Getting a job while they are young prepares them for the future. Work experience will look good on their college applications, as well as future job applications.
