DS will be 16 shortly and I was rather hoping he could apply for a weekend/evening job at a big supermarket that will be opening nearby soon.
However, having looked at their website it says that you need to be '16 and of compulsory school leaving age to apply'. He is just going into Yr 11 and his will be the 1st year where 'compulsory school leaving age' will be 17 - unless he has a ft job/training course .
Has anyone's teenager got a job with a big supermarket? Did they have to wait until end of Yr 11? Does this rule apply to all jobs - including part time ones. Is it not possible now for teenagers in Yr 11 to get employment even when they have their NI card?
Was rather hoping that getting a job would help him lose the sense of entitlement that he seems to have acquired and get him saving up for some of the things he wrongly thinks I will be paying for in future eg driving lessons/car/insurance.
