Working Teens

Your Teen in the Working World is a great website that can be found here.

According to the authors, " This website focuses on informing parents on different aspects of teenage employment. After all, working as an adolescent is a discontinuous transition from young adulthood into adulthood. Young adults often work part time, whereas adults work more full time professional jobs. Young adults work in more service-orientated jobs (food and clothing industries) and adults hold business-orientated jobs. Furthermore, adults gain more benefits from working than teenagers do. This discontinuous transition may cause confusion for teens and their parents. We intend for this website to help parents gain insight into the working world of teens."
