Jobs are essential to success in life. Without them we wouldn't be able to fend for ourselves-this is why the younger someone starts off, the better off they're sure to be. If we let the capable, developing young generation of today get thrust into the adult world too late, it would be detrimental for our future society. Our children need to learn good character, how to navigate the hardships of life and be experienced in order to be prosperous. And what better way to tackle all this than with early work experience?

Would you believe that work experience at a younger age helps develop crucial personality traits? That's right, things such as commitment, patience, problem solving and innovation are taught when a young person starts working early. Those who laze about until they absolutely need a job don't have as much opportunity to practice these qualities and implement them into their developing personalities. Bad news then-it's likely they'll have to struggle with weaknesses in these areas for the rest of their lives. Try letting your child experience squeezing work time into normal life or knowing how to navigate a schedule and it'll be much easier than when they face the problem again. 

These qualities also help the younger generation prepare for the hardships of life. Sooner or later we have to face them, no matter how sheltered we are. If your child learns to manage money and their responsibilities now, they won't have to face it the hard way when they become full-grown adults. Failures and obstacles such as conflicts with colleagues or managing time are inevitable in every job. Even outside of work different stressors occur, maybe financial problems or even planning dinner! But this won't be an issue for someone who has the traits to deal with them.

Not only are they prepared for the bumpier roads, but work experience opens up new pathways, too. If you were an employer, wouldn't you hire the experienced, capable interviewee instead of a naive amateur? Many jobs also require the same skills-for example, jobs that deal with customers-so if someone knows the ropes, it's much more likely they'll do a better job than someone who doesn't know what they're doing. If someone has had a reputation at their old jobs for being a good colleague and skilled employee, it helps employers make the best choices for their business. 

Knowing what's truly best for our generation could either mean life or death for human society. It's essential we raise adept, experienced kids with good qualities so these traits can be passed on, along with improving all the progress past generations have made so far. So once your child is of age, it's important they start working their way up, from part time to dream job. Will you just wait it out, until the consequences show themselves? Or will you change your child's future for the better?
