Re: Why is it teens aren't responsible enough to have a good paying job!?

Mmeh.. I'll give this thread a shot.

Let's see what flaws I can find.

Then whom? Then teens?

The topic mentions teens, so I'll just rephrase your question.

I think this is just a generalization.

Supposed you noticed that the average adult got paid a lot more than the average working teen. Would it be okay only to factor in age?

And totally discard bachelor's degree, experience, etc?

The flaw in your view is lack of imagination. You assume that a certain X is the only factor (age) and totally discard any other potential factor.

So what jobs would you want to do instead?

A C++ programmer, a chemist, an electrical engineer? A lawyer?

I say fuck all you adults. Your mostly idiots anyways.
Well, we can all see your maturity, can't we?
