Teenagers working during the holidays to earn extra pocket money?
As i am a teenager,i would give a thumbs-up to earning pocket money.Who wouldn't want extra pocket money,money which you can call it your own and you can control the spending of it?
Not for me of course,and my fellow shopaholic friends.
This new generation of youngsters are more mature in the sense that we're exposed to the media,outside world,the World Wide Web at a young age.So definitely we're exposed to tech gadgets,fashion,knowledge;basically everything.
We,the Generation Y,are pretty materialistic too,despite all the stories about how happiness or other values are more important than material things.With the booming economy and Great Singapore Sales to await for,teenagers definitely want the money they call their own to spend on.
Well,money is just the reward.We can also gain working experience,whether your employee is nice or mean,learn good time management,have a work-study balance and make your holidays more meaningful.
However,sometimes the working hours may take a tad too long for students to cope and if the pay is low,it is really not worth working.As we're teenagers and still studying for O levels and for A levels and diplomas,we need the time to get good grades.It is really stupid and insane to work more than to study,because studying will hold us better jobs in the future,preferably with more pay and less of hard work.
As a teenager,anything is possible with our youthful energy and enthusiasm.It is just how we make full use of the time during the holidays.
And just remember the money we call our own!
