Today is Newpaper Carrier Day. On this day in 1933 a 10 yr. old boy was hired to deliver papers for the New York Sun. His name was Barney Flaherty and he answered the add in the paper to be a carrier.

1. Have you ever had a job you got paid for? Do you think kids should have jobs?

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.

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.

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 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 think kids should have jobs if they wanted to have them to get money because they should not be forced to do one.

Anonymous said...

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.
