I think kids should start as early as 14.Start doing part time jobs so by the time you become 18 after you graduate from high school, you can secure yourself a carrer as you enter college since mosy companies today, especially shere in the Philippines require work experience and background so you can secure a better position with better pay

I had a part-time job when I was 15. I think anything before that is much too young. As long as you don't work too much while your at school I don't think it is mch of a problem and by working, your able to fiance your studies and make good use of time you would hae probably wasted if you didnt have a job.

I think a good time to get a job would be any age during your high school days. During high school is when you need and want money to save up for a car and for other things. I was actually delivering newspapers before high school and was able to save money that way. You definitely want to have money to spend while in college. The sooner you work the more you can save for the future and for retirement since social security may not be around much longer.

My first job was an internet-based job. It was based in Belgium. And my job was so simple but the pay was really good.
My job involved me making questionnaires of 160 characters for mobile phones regarding some trivia about my country's music and sports.
It was fun and I'd love to have that again.
I was around 4th year college then. And my professor had a friend who worked for the company and asked her if she could recommend someone, and she recommended me because she saw I was really computer savvy. So there it goes. It was the best job ever! Too bad it was only a by-project type.

For youngsters. You should try anything. It's good to understand how money works and how difficult it is to find money so as to appreciate the things that parents give us at an earlier age.

I think the best method to get a job is after college.Becoz the person can enjoy the teenage age.If the family background is not in the good condition then he can opt for doing a job depends on the criteria who have given.Even though if we go for job,we should enjoy the nature of work we are doing.So,that we will happy and make others feel happy.
