Whats it like in general? I uninstalled after I realized I can only pull porn bots shilling Instagram. I rather just die alone.

The 17yo... at work?? I wonder what's the minimum working age in memeland.

I was 13 when I had my first job (paper round) and then 15 when I worked in a pub kitchen. The pub job was a great laugh! They definitely made me appreciate the value of money and work.

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.

When did you start working? Here in the states its pretty normal to have teenagers work part time after school. I did so I would have money to spend on doing stupid stuff with friends haha
