Teenagers, college age men, do not seem to be taking jobs.....?

Question

During summer and Xmas vacations particularly, teenagers and college students always had traditional jobs - waiters, mens store clerks, Boxboys at markets, construction, fast food, etc. I do not see them taking such jobs, in fact many seem to be unemployed yet happy and still driving nice cars and going to clubs, etc. I know undocumented people have taken many of these jobs, but I do not see or hear anger. I sense that they are making money, perhaps a lot of money on the internet and selling drugs or perhaps even more serious crimes such as identity theft, scamming, gambling, etc. Without naming names, do any of you out there know the areas in which unskilled and inexperienced teens and twenty somethings are making satisfactory money?

Answer 1

Well my friend, the teenage look for easy market, not down town or in the comfort of their zone, yes, through the Internet; a "spidey" web churned by the brilliancy of the mind of man. What you are seeing and experiencing are the consequences of the self destructive innovation of man himself. I think bad days are here and guys like us(good guys)should find ways and means to counteract such disturbing and unhealthy practices.

Answer 2

I live with a 15 year old boy. His dad owns a company and his mother doesn't work, but they were able to buy him a car out of the middle of nowhere while I work a 40-50 hours a week job in a factory and I still haven't saved enough after two months.

Maybe it's not that they are not looking for jobs, but that either 1) they are not getting hired for various reasons....or 2) mum and dad. XD

Answer 3

I think you are generalizing. All the teenagers I know get jobs in the summer.

Answer 4

Country clubs are good places for teens/college kids to work.

Answer 5

Many of them are trying to live well off of credit cards.

Answer 6

Mommy and daddy pay for it all
