What kind
of work do British teenagers do? From the age of 14 some teenagers help the
milkman deliver milk to houses. Teenagers of 15 or 16 years old may work
for 8 hours on Saturdays and 35 hours during school holidays. Many teenagers
will get up early to deliver newspapers to houses around theirs before going to
school. They are known as Paperboys or Papergirls. Looking after young children
is also a popular job for teenagers, because they can get paid for watching
children and television at the same time!
Other
popular jobs:
Gardening

a shop.

Children
need to have a work permit(许可证). They can get an application (申请) form for
the work permit from school or local Education Welfare Office. The pay depends on the kind of work but could
be anything up to $3 every hour. The National Minimum
Wage does not apply to workers under 16.
