Making money as a teen teaches valuable work experience.
Teenagers are only a few years away from going off into the adult world or going to work in their selected field . Having work experience before applying for a job will be a HUGE bonus.Ultimately, having a job as teen makes them more marketable in the future. Companies and employers will be more inclined to hire someone if they see that person has previous work experience rather than someone who hasn’t.

Making Money As A Teen Builds Confidence.

When a teenager works a job they’ve never worked before, they are being given the opportunity to learn something new. And when you learn new things, you increase your skillset. This helps build confidence in teens to believe that they CAN do things they never thought they would be able to do!

Having a sense of humility paired with confidence will set teens apart when looking for a job and talking with potential employers. When they see confidence and sureness in a teen, they know they can count on them. The more practice and experience teens get, the more confidence they build.
