Job or Education?
The advantage of having a teenage child is that you can learn a lot from/with/of them... I have already mentioned the continuous patience lessons that have been served daily (just kidding... lol... am I?...), but also, we can learn a lot because a child's view of the world is still so innocent and naive... And it's good to be reminded about that point of view...
Today, when we had lunch, my son got an idea of how he will start to work in 1.5 years (he is almost 15 years old, so he will be able to work some part-time jobs)... On one side, it's great to hear from your child that it thinks about independent life and financial consequences that it wears... Also, it shows a kind of mature and responsible attitude (maybe a bit too early, but who am I to judge), and to be honest, I liked to hear that...
But, on the other side, it was that innocent view about the future... Job at Burger King (that was the idea for the start) would give him enough money to rent an apartment, have food, etc... I got into conversation with my point of view, from my personal experience, telling him that working and studying is very hard to achieve... It's always a case that one of those two will suffer...
Check out in the video how it looked and what was the "moral of the story"...
Thank you for your valuable time,

I think it is kind of unavoidable for him to go out and work. But if you can encourage him to spend more time being productive towards what he wants by paying out that portion, then I think it will do better for him in the long run. Of course you should only do so if it won't affect your own budget and you can afford it.

Oh, of course... I'm happy that he is thinking in that way at all... lol... Seeing people being lazy and living with parents until 40 is not the picture that I would like to see :D
It's all about the balance and the priorities, of course...
