NETIZEN FINDS OUT THAT MOST SG REDDIT USERS WOULD ALLOW THEIR CHILD TO WORK AFTER O-LEVELS, NOT FOR THE MONEY BUT FOR LEARNING LIFE SKILLS

SINGAPORE: After a Reddit user asked, “Will you allow your child to work part-time?” many, if not all of those who responded said that they would, if their child wanted to do so, underlining that having a job teaches young people many valuable life lessons.

“Most parents encourage their child to work part-time after completing O-level and before starting poly or uni. This is to make them understand the value of money. However, I feel that they are only young once and they should be spending time on their hobbies or hanging out with their friends. Furthermore, the salary will be low as they are inexperienced. It’s like cheap labour. When they start working, they will spend their entire lives working,” wrote u/oieric on r/askSingapore on Tuesday (May 16).
