you worked at an office in high school? or are you from a country where high schoolers don’t usually work? almost all my friends worked one of the jobs from that poll as teens so i’m curious what the main difference is :0

yeah, that's why I said all the options were very american lol

that's not the reality for most latin american countries. at least in brazil, we have several social programs that give us opportunities to work at entry level office jobs.

I can guarantee you that if you ask almost any brazilian from ages 16-26 what their first job was, it's gonna be some variation of "secretary" or "front desk employee".

most teens first jobs nowadays are either through CIEE or NUBE, or other career plan organizations. mine were as well. my first job was in law firm.

in brazil, you're not even ALLOWED to work at most of the jobs mentioned in that poll until you're 18 in anyways.... my country has actual employee rights laws lol

#like fr why would you let a 16 year old work in a industrial kitchen. that shit is dangerous????#the lack of worker laws in america never ceases to fascinate me #and life guard????? why would you give a 16 year old such responsability that is insane #and that's not the first time someone comes in my inbox shocked about this either lol #I still remember the ask I got when I was 18 or so saying something like #''you work at an office???? I thought 18 year olds were only allowed to be nanys!''#which at the time I thought was funny but now I just see it as a reflection of how narrow minded americans are #about how the rest of the world works. just in general.#this is no hate for you particularly btw that's just an observation #ask
