Teen Unemployment Scanda

This is probably the most critical time in a person's career. The first job, learning the basics of being an employee and providing value to an employer. If we eliminated the minimum wage for teens, at least, we might be able to stem the tide of crime. What are unemployed young people to do? They need to be working. We need to get out of their way.

Uh, headline should have been "Scandal". Go ahead and flame.

Kill two birds with one stone, move their summer break to harvest time.

This will be the worst summer ever for young workers.

I'm younger than that, but hell, just May through September, LOL. I worked on my grandparents farm every damn minute I wasn't in school and the sun was up, from 10 to graduation, day after, moved the fuck away from there fast. But it did guarantee that hard labor was not going to be any part of my future and provided a great work ethic.

Can't believe nobody came out to support the illegals on this one, or they didn't realize what bird I was killing.

Guess it shows California kids won't do the work of migrant workers.

I mowed yards. I hustled as many as I could.
Oh wait you are talking about teens, I did that before I was a teen.
