It used to be the norm around the world to have children work jobs even at 5 years old.

Now, some societies seem to want to keep children away from work until they are well into adulthood at 25-30!

My mother took me to work instead of daycare before kindergarten, so I learned contracting work and fixing up houses by watching and helping her before I was even in school. Farmers, other contractors, and mechanics often do similar things with their children to teach them.

Do you feel children should be working earlier instead of later so they can learn skills and get ahead?

I’ve not made up my mind and am liable to go either way. I’m a custodian at a college. There are no classes tomorrow. We still work, though, which is fine, but I texted my boss to see if I can come in early. He said dress warm we will be shoveling snow and laying salt. My job does not pertain to outside and we even have maintenance men who know the yard during the summer, so why is snow my responsibility? This irks me cause it isn’t in my job description. Also, I live about 30 minutes away and it is snowing a ton and supposed to through the night and into tomorrow. I have time off I could take. What would you do?
