For most people, their teenage years are when they get their first jobs. Whether it is a paper round or babysitter as a younger teen or a shop assistant or lifeguard once you're 16, it is the first bit of money you earn yourself. I have yet to get a job, as I am not particularly desperate for money and like to have plenty of free time. I will probably wait until I have done my GCSEs. However, a couple of other teens I know have jobs now so I decided I should still talk about it.
A part time job can give a teen work experience, finance and budgeting skills and time management. However, apparently, old teens who work more than 20 hours a week can experience negative effects such as not enough time for college work and increased stress. You need to find a balance between leisure, studying and work.
