Should I work?
Should students at the age of 15 be able to hold jobs.
My Opinions
I think that kids should be able to hold jobs. I am a 14 year old boy and I have nothing to do and I could use some money in my pocket. I wouldn't mind if I had to work 8-10 hours a week to prepare me for when I'm older.
Arguments from other sources
The U.K.
Kids 14-15 can work for tops 25 hours per week, with 2 hours on Sundays and 5 hours for every school day and Saturday. Has a 2 week holiday during school holidays. The place that they're working can't be a factory and has to have suitable working quarters.

The U.S.
14 and 15 year-olds can't work more than 3 hours a day, more than 18 hours a week in a school week. They can't work more than 8 hours a day on non-school weeks, with at tops 40 hours in a week.
Canada
Each province has its own work laws. You have to keep up with school and can't work a dangerous job. For Alberta 1 of the provinces I choose, you can work only hours max on a school day and 8 hours max on a non-school day. You need a permit and can only work little jobs.

Conclusion
The limits are pretty understandable yet we still can get better. It says nothing about the pay though. If we get 6-7 dollars per hour that's pretty good. I don't expect us to get that much, but I expect 14 year-olds to be treated as well as 16, 17 year-olds because we aren't just workers there we're customers too.
