Jobs for Teens...and More
Jobs for teens seem like they can be easy to come by...until you are actually trying to get one. There are the teens that can walk into a store and come out with a job. Then there are the teens that seem to look for a job for months with no luck. And then there are plenty of teens that don't want a J-O-B...they want to work for themselves.
How do you sort it all out?
First, assess which category you (or your teen) falls into. Is it best to have a steady job, punching a clock with assigned shifts? Or are you the type that would be best suited to doing something on your own? Or...what if you just don't know yet?
