It's June, ya'll, which means 1) Its officially summer vacation for metro kids and 2) There's about to be a lot of idle hands with nothing to do but the devil's work, in my opinion. Having started my first job at the age of 14, I can speak from experience when I say child labor is the backbone of Oklahoma society; not only because of how cheap it is, but also because of the invaluable knowledge it bestows upon our youth. In fact, here are 7 skills Oklahoma kids learn in the first jobs!
1. Working Well with Others
Thanks to our glorious economy, there’s no such thing as a low-wage “job for teens” anymore. Kids working minimum wage jobs this summer have to be prepared to work with their peers, work release participants, a World War II veteran, and probably their school teachers.
