The Importance of Working as a Teen

          I recently read an article about teens and how they should earn money. (http://www.fool.com/teens/teens02.htm) How often do you see teens working and getting value out of life through a job? There are many teens out there that could really benefit from having a job. Maintaining a job is a very big task that many teens cannot seem to do; however, teens that can maintain a job will be more successful in life. Today, teens will greatly benefit from having a job by teaching responsibility and to be prepared for the future.
          There are many teens out there that are not motivated to do anything. If teens were to get a job, they would learn a great deal of responsibility. From getting to work on time, to doing your best at the work you are told to do, all takes a great deal of responsibility. If a teen were to not show up on time or correctly do their job, they would get fired without a doubt. Teens would also have a better insight on their future if they were to get a job. Through working, a teen can save up plenty of money to make it through college and even after college. It takes much experience to be successful in the work force. Why not get experience in the work force early? The earlier a teen gets experience in something, the more successful that person will be in the future.
          This article makes me believe that working as a teenager will benefit me in the future. I believe that if a teen is willing to find and maintain a job, they will be successful in life by having a good job and promising future. If a teenager stays responsible, they will achieve great goals in life through the work force. Responsibility is one key to greatness. Also, I believe that having a job as a teen will greatly affect the future of all teens. To me, more experience leads to a better future for all people. With many teens having good experience in the work force, this will lead to a big spike in job growth.
          With the role of jobs in teens lives, I believe that our work force will be more stable and even have a spike in growth and efficiency. Many teens find themselves wondering why they do not have any money when all they have to do is fill out a simple job application. Having a job as a teen will not only keep them out of trouble, but teach a great deal of responsibility and will benefit them in their future.
