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.
I do have a job I get payed for mowing lawns and kids should have jobs so we have money to spend.
Yes, I have had various jobs and in various weathers and got money for it. I dont think kids should have jobs though.
No I havn't. I think kids should have jobs because we could buy our own clothes and stuff.
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.
This one time i had to clean my uncles room fo 5.00 and then i had to take care of my little cousin for 10.00. Yes i think kids should get paid because kids want to buy stuff they parents don't want to buy them.
Yes and no beacues what if kids nide soomething wealy baeand and and my mom can't geave it to me i have to find a way to geat the moeny.
Kids should have jobs b/c no one should be broke.
I had a job at a lemonade stand, I got 50 cents for every cup. Yes.
I think kids shode not have jobs, not reade to go and get paid when there older.
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 $200 last summer. I think kids should get payed, because our parents will get sick and tired of giving us money for things, when if we had jobs that payed, we coul buy them ourselves.
I think once you are a teen you should have the right to have a part time job like on weekends or during the summer,because then you will become more responsible and mature.
yes I had a job and yes kids should get payed
I actually dont do jobs I just get payed, and I actually dont think that kids should have jobs because they would then not have an education.
I have only had the job of babysitting in wich i did get payed. However I don't think kids under 15 should have a job besides going to school. I say this because, having a job is a little bit to much for kids to hanndle. Kids should be focoused on school not a job.
Well yeah I do have A job and its cutting grass and I make 12$ dollars for it every week and I am good at it if I can do it than kids can do it.

I never had a job that I would get payed for because I won't work until 16. At 16 I want a part time job so I won't work till then. I have no ahd a job where I get payed because I don't do any chores that I payed a lot of money for.
I was babysitting and I got paid but I don't any more.I think that kids that want a job can get a jod that they are really good at.They should get paid the same amount as adults because some kids can do things better than adults.
I have had a babysiting job and i got paid for it .I do think kids should have jobs because that way we could learn how to be responsible.I also think that kids should have jobs because we also have needs.

yes i have had a job not one thats like professional it was mowing lawn and cleaning gutters i really do believe that kids should have jobs because no kid likes to ask their parent to get them somehting and they said no my dad and mom always said if you got money i cant tell what to buy and what not to buy

No I have never had a job that I got paid for. I hope when im 16 I can get a job. I think that kids should have jobs so they dont have to keep asking their parents for money.

I thinnk kids should jobs because they can get paid and lern how to be responceable for when they grow up.
I have jobs all the time and some times I think we should have jobs. Instead of us beaging are parents for money all the time.
The only job iv had was mowing lawns and i got payed $5 a lawn. Its a good job for kids to do. Its also an easy job for kids. I mowed about 20 houses that day and made 100$ than i wasted it on video games.
I think kids should have jobs if they wanted to have them to get money because they should not be forced to do one.
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.
I never got had a job before I only hepled my dad pant the bathroom and I got paid.I think kids should have jobs so we can get paid and won't ask are parents for any money

I had a summer job durring the summer, as a cachier at a place called something I don't remember what it was called. I don't think that kid should be able to have a job so they can have mory to buy what ever they want! If I could get a better job I would be a Doctor!
