What do you do during your free time? Travel? Play with friends? In the US, teenagers over the age of 14 have part-time jobs. Their part-time jobs can be babysitting, waitingtables or even working at a movie theater.
But why do teenagers do this? Some do it to get extra （额外的）money. Others want to start saving money for college because their parents might not be able to pay for their tuition （学费）. Some teenagers might want to save money for something big, like buying a car.
Many teenagers choose to get part-time jobs during the summer holiday. That's because they are busy studying during the school year.
Having a part-time job is great for any US teenager. They get an idea of what the real working world is like. And it gives them skills and experience. This will help them get a full-time job later in life.
