2. Why does it resonate for you?
This article resonated with me because its a way for young
children/teens to be independent instead of dependent on
their parents for money or always asking for them to buy
you something. The child can feel satisfaction on doing
something for themself for once and have some sort of
control over their lives. Having a job at a young age will
teach you many life lessons that you can learn from when
you get older like how to manage your money, having the
responsibility of going to work, and teach you to be
independent. A job at a young age gives the child a way of
realizing how the really world is like in the workforce.
Having a good job and making your own money will give
that child a sort of achievement/accomplishment in there
life. So I agree with the article that young children should
get the opportunity to have a decent job I feel like it
important and can teach you so many things.
3. How can your interest be applied locally?
Giving young people a decent jobs they need to
learn how to manage money and how to keep a
budget . It is important that they know and learn
this because it sets them up for there future. By
learning how to budget, save, and earn money they
will feel more prepared for the future and be more
informed. Often times teens and young adults are
not aware or well prepared when it comes to
finance, schools should offer a mandatory course
where it teaches students how to manage money
outside of school and when you are on your own.
4. Where can you personally make the greatest contribution?
When I was younger I didn't have much
knowledge about saving or budgeting for
myself with the little amount of money I had.
Since I’m older now I understand and can help
young adults learn more about saving and
budgeting by educating them about the basic
of finance that would help them in the long run
in the future.
5. Is there a feature of social media that can be uniquely applied to this goal?
Social media is a way for people to interact with one another
and for you to gain information or share it. Social media is
used worldwide making looking for jobs much easier. Social
media is also used by companies they like to look at their
future employers to see their qualifications and to get a sense
of how they are. Social medias like Linkedin, Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, etc. Nowadays you don't have to go in
person to apply for a job or to see if they are hiring you can
simply just apply online with these three websites and get to
learn more about the job on there platforms. For the young
adults to have a decent job there needs to be some sort of
experience. Since they are young there are not a lot of
experience that they are carrying at a young age that jobs are
looking for. With social media you can raise awareness
towards young adults getting decent jobs on social media
platforms by tweeting about it, hashtags, and ads to reach
millions of people.
