This was one of the "culture shocks" for me too so I will explain.
It's pretty much the norm for highschoolers to be working part-time during school days. One fo the main arguments against increasing minimum wage is "I don't want a highschooler making as much money."
Middleschoolers also often have jobs tho it's usually either working for a relative or simply not on paper.
Not on paper ones also often pay less than minimum wage, in my case I was working in a warehouse at 13 for $5/hr.
This is for Texas, idk what other states do.
