He is 17 years old and grade 12 soon. It's not a full time job but just a one month working program by the government called Special Program for the Employment of Student or SPES.
It's a good training and experience for him. He will work in the local government unit as a cleaner. He will learn the value of the job.
Just like me when I'm at his age when I worked as student laborer in our school.

Hopefully after the month of work, he will appreciate the hard work of a cleaner.
He will probably study very hard so that he will not have to work as a cleaner for life.
Personally I think it is good for teens to work so that they know how hard it is to earn money.

@ilocosboy Yes, he will be more understanding.
I hate those people who think that our jobs are easy when they do not even know what we are doing.

This is the reason why I pushed him to work. It will surely prepare him as a good employee and boss someday

I hope he doesn't learn how to be a corrupt worker because he's working for the Government. And congratulations for him. I was never allowed to work part time back in my youth.
