Answer 2

Ben, are you talking about a summer job? Where you have to work, get up early, and sweat? And they pay you far too little and then the government eats the rest?

If you're just a high school kid, I say, good for you, Mom & Dad. It's excellent experience for a kid to learn the responsibility of getting to work on time, working hard, and managing the money he earns. If you don't like the job, you'd better start looking for a new one earlier next year so you can have your pick of which ones you want.

But honestly, Mom & Dad have your best interest at heart. Be thankful that they care enough to do this for you.

Answer 3

I don't actually think a parent could make you "become" what they want...or even force you to take a job.....because how you "perform" in the job is up to you. You would be in control of it, not them. They might not like it...but that would be the case.

Parents have subtle ways they could put the pressure on....but in the long term it wouldn't work. By the time you are old enough to take a job, you are also old enough to start making your own decisions. It would be a losing battle for the parent....they would either be forcing you to move out on your own...and lose their child, or forcing a real "split" in your relationship that could last for years....either one not a good choice for them.

So they could try to get you to take a job that would "lead" to what they want, but you could always move in another direction whenever you wanted to. So you would be the one in control of the situation, job or not.

Answer 4

You must follow your heart in order to find happiness. It is your life you are living, not your parents. Parents have been trying to live their lost youth and dreams through their children since the beginning of time. Don't get caught up in this game. If you are old enough to have a job, you are old enough to decide what kind of job that will be. Just do it. The faster you cut the strings from your parents, the easier it will be for you and the happier you will be.

Answer 5

I wouldn't do it. I would have to tell them right to their face that it is my life, not theirs and they are going to have to accept that I need to make my own choices, whether they turn out to be right or wrong. I can only learn by making my own mistakes.
Of course, if they got upset, I would have to deal with that, but there is no use backing down if you really feel strongly about something, you have to stand your ground and not let other people push you around. If you just back down, then you will always know that you didn't win and will not believe in yourself for other things where you need confidence.
Stand up for yourself and your rights and although there may be some rough times in between, things will turn out better in the long run!

Answer 6

Until I was of legal age, I wouldn't have a lot of choices. After that, I would have to decide if pleasing my parents is my best option in life, or remind them that my age enables me to makes other choices better suited to my needs and hit the bricks. Unless you live with them, they can't force you to do anything after 18.

Answer 7

I think that they are doing whats best for you. I wasn't forced by my mom to get one but i felt that if i didn't then i would let her down and just appear real lazy, get one to prove a point.I had a job for three years and recentally have been unemployed for a year but she hasnt said anything because she knows that if i want one i can get one.

Answer 8

Well if you don't have a job, and you are living under their roof. You need to do something to bring money in to pay your way. If, for now, this means working for them or doing what they like, then do it. If you have your own place, and do not ask them for support in anyway, then rock the boat and refuse.

Answer 9

if you're 18 or more, then you must choose or you will regret it the rest of your life... and so will your parents but they don't know it yet... but if you're under 18 or uncertain as to what you want to do in life... just check it out and see if you like it or not... 6 months to a year should give you a good idea...

Answer 10

well if it was just an after school job then i would just do it. First i would try to talk to them if i really didn't want to, but if they just wouldn't give in then i would do it. if they are trying to make you be a doctor or something majorly life-changing then i would NOT do it unless i really wanted to.
