    When did you start working? Here in the states its pretty normal to have teenagers work part time after school. I did so I would have money to spend on doing stupid stuff with friends haha

      Minimum here is 18, so 18.
      Yeah i get the temp crappy jobs kids get, but still, 18.
      Maybe if you work at your parents’ small shop or something you could pull it off, but they could get in trouble.

        Oh that’s kinda crazy. The minimum age here is like 14, albeit with a huge amount of restrictions. I think it got my first job at 15

        But I was working in my parents restaurant since i was like 6 or 7. Its “technically” not allowed but people mostly turn a blind eye to parents using their kids as labor, unless its otherwise abusive/neglectful

          Damn, at 15 you’re still at school here and going to school is compulsory by law. (It is also financially supported by the state, i.e. pupils and parents don’t have to pay for school attendance themselves. Well, through taxes)
