  1. I dont think I have ever had a job I have been paid for. I might have, but I dont remember it. I think kids should have jobs because, well we need money too. We always have to ask our parents and sometimes they dont give us money. So I beleive kids should be able to have jobs.

  5. I've never had a paying job or any kind of job really. I think kids around my age should get a paying job. But not sometihng to hard for us but hard enough to teach us how to save money and how to take care of ourselves and ready us for the real world, to show us things arnt going to be handed to us and that we have to work for what we want.

  11. I have had many jobs that I've gotten payed for. I've fed my neighbors two turtles over the weekends, I've babysat, and I mowed the lawn across the street for $200 last summer. I think kids should get payed, because our parents will get sick and tired of giving us money for things, when if we had jobs that payed, we coul buy them ourselves.

  12. I think once you are a teen you should have the right to have a part time job like on weekends or during the summer,because then you will become more responsible and mature.

  14. I actually dont do jobs I just get payed, and I actually dont think that kids should have jobs because they would then not have an education.

  15. I have only had the job of babysitting in wich i did get payed. However I don't think kids under 15 should have a job besides going to school. I say this because, having a job is a little bit to much for kids to hanndle. Kids should be focoused on school not a job.

  53. I dont think I ever had a job in my whole life because i really dont like to do them.I think kids should have jobs because when they are grown up and if they dont know how to a job they may get fire or they might not do it again.Another reason why kids should have jobs is because when the kids parents mother and father are sick whos gonna do the laundry,dishes,washing,and picking up the mail when it arrives.I think kids should have jobs because it will give them a lot of money and get them to college.
