Fewer teens are taking on summer jobs. Though this might be because many are taking on advanced summer classes and volunteering opportunities, we should reconsider the importance of work experience for adolescents entering an increasingly competitive workforce. Hi! My name is Nathaniel Brown, and I’m from Bridgeport, Texas. I’ve had exposure to lots of different teenage jobs, like working at Starbucks, performing lawn maintenance, and taking care of sheep. I currently attend the Texas Academy of Math and Science (TAMS) program at UNT. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
