    Previous generations (in 50’s-60’s) teens were expected to get a part time job and contribute some money to the family budget.

      yeah, previous generations to mine, teens kids just worked on the farm. that’s why we were in the city.

      edit: teenagers did not exist in the generations i’m referring to. you went child to adult.

          right? the changing of society as we went agrarian to urban is so neat. it’s part of why i studied history, then i forget, then history again, then economics with an emphasis in history in college. well that and the personality issues

          our econ department had the best fundraising t-shirt:
