Do you think 14 is a good age to start working?

Is it wrong to start working at age 14?

  • i just turned 14 and i want to work at a place where my mom works. Is it wrong to start working? She works at a very nice retirement home. The old ppl are awesome, and i love most of them. I want to work, but my mom doesnt think its a good idea. I really want to. What do i do?

  • Answer:

    it's not wrong at all! when i was 14 i started working, and so did most of my friends. 14 year olds are allowed to get their work permits at that age for a reason, 14 is when you are responsible enough to have a job. and most likely want one a job at an early age can teach you many important lessons and things that will put you ahead of the curve in life:) besides... the summer can be boring and a summer job is just the cure you'll be occupied and rolling in the doe!

I always had a summer job growing up. During school though, my main "job" was school. I was very busy in sports and had little time to work during the school year. If you think you can handle both ask your mom if you can do a trial run. Let her know if your grades start to slip, you'll call it quits. This is a good time to show your mom you are growing up. Good luck

Working at a young age is great experience for you. Just don't work so many hours that it will interfere with your schoolwork, because that is your primary focus right now. Convince your mom that you are trying to be responsible, she'll see the light sooner or later.

I think it's great that you want to do that. Just don't do so much that you miss out on being a teenager. You need to balance your responsibilities with 'fun' time.

Finish school. That's the most important thing. I have been working in Geriatric Care since I was 23...and I'm 61 now....but I've been taking classes and learning stuff ALL the way. I am so blessed in my work with the elderly...but I KNOW what I'm doing...so I serve them better!

I did, starting teaching maths : ]

no its not wrong to start working at 14. But you can only work for a certain amount of hours and should balance fun with responsibilities.

In my state, you can't get a job like that at only 14. If it is about enjoying it and showing responsibility and not the money, you can look into volunteering there. That way you won't get sucked into the world of adulthood with a boss and people demanding you to work at certain times. Everyone I know says 'Once you get a job, you're in that world forever' or something along the lines of it. So maybe, you can volunteer for a while to prove to your mom that you can do it and then in a year or two, you can try and get a real job there.

It's not wrong at all. It's smart.
