Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs? We did a survey among two hundred people. According to the result, 78% say yes, and 22% say no. We choose some reasons as follows.
| Agree | Disagree |
| Jobs prepare teenagers for later life. Many college graduates look forward to a satisfying job. But almost all job interviewers say they want someone with experience, It's difficult for you to get a job with no work experience. —Linda, Beijing | It is the time to study. If teenagers start working, they won't have time to study. They might keep on working to achieve someone else's dreams, not theirs. They are too young to decide for their future. —Alice, Wuhan |
| Jobs teach responsibility. Teenagers at 14 and older should be allowed to have part-time jobs. They teach responsibility and how to work as a team. What's more, teens who earn money at a young age can learn how to manage personal finances. —Bill, Hefei | Kids should pay more attention to their education. According to the survey, students who work more than 15 hours per week might lose interest in school and their grades may drop. This means kids might not enter university if they work part-time for a long time —Mike, Shanghai |
