I have 3 jobs, one at a resturant, another at a cafe & childcare twice a week.
I am 15, what are your opinions on this? I enjoy working, if I didn't I wouldn't be doing so much. But I don't want to be wearing my body out.
Any advice? or Opinions?
Thanks xox

I hope, and assume, that you are in school.
My opinion - 35 hours a week is way too much. Might be OK in the summer when you aren't in school, but not during the school year.

Well, where I'm from, it's illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to work more than 20 hours a week. But since all your hours aren't all at the same place, I'd imagine you're safe in this regard.
However, you have to realize that there are reasons for these types of laws. The main one being, so you don't tire yourself out and end up flunking out of high school. It's one thing to work a couple hours here and there, but it's quite another to be trying to tackle a full time schedule at only 15.
I would really suggest cutting down your work load by about 15 or 20 hours. If you need to keep busy, get involved in sports or clubs at your school. These things will be much more beneficial to you when applying for college as their main concerns are grades and activities. I don't recall any college admissions officer asking me what job I had after school.
Take it easy hun. You have your whole adult life to exhaust yourself working. Enjoy your youth while you can. Date, go out with friends, see a move, go to the beach. Do all the things that adults rarely ever get to do for themselves because they are working all the darn time.

I hope you are going to school. Seems like a lot to me but if you are enjoying it and managing well then there is no harm. Good luck to you..

Are you NOT in SCHOOL?? At 15, I would think that's where you need to be concentrating your efforts.
