minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoSo working at 13 years old guarantees you will be good with your money? Or not working at 13 years old guarantees you won’t? Because it would seem to me that teaching children financial literacy would be a better plan than allowing corporations to benefit from child labor.
minus-squareNuPNuA@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI think the practical application of actually having money in your pocket and having to manage it is better than anything we can teach theoretically. I’m not saying have them doing 40 hour weeks, but a few hours of a weekend won’t hurt them.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoUnless those few hours of a weekend are serving drunk men as a teenage girl, you mean. Then there’s a huge amount of potential for hurt.
minus-squareNuPNuA@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, I said in my very first post they probably shouldn’t be working in bars. My disagreement was that they shouldn’t be working at all.
