If you live in the United States,you can
’
t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old.At 14 or 15,you can have part-time jobs after school or on weekends,and during summer vacation you can work 40 hours each week.Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14,you can
’
t earn your own money?Of course not!Kids who are between 10 and 13,can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valarie,11,told us that she made money by cleaning up other people
’
s yards.Lena,13,made money by knitting dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors.Reisa,12,started taking art classes and she also showed her work to people.Many people have asked her to draw pictures for them and they paid her for them.Jasmine,13,wrote articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning.By working to earn your own money,you can learn some skills.They can help you succeed in the future.These skills can include things like getting along with others,using technology and using your time.Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it.However,if you make your own money,you don
’
t have to depend on someone else.The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot happier than the twenty dollars you ask for.
