Friday 10/18 Would you rather live in a society like the one we currently have, or have the choice of going into the workforce at fourteen?

I would rather stick with our current system, in which most people go to college or straight into the workforce at 18. I think that 14 is a bit too young to start working, and the extra 4 years of schooling is really important to learn skills needed in jobs. By 14, I didn’t have any idea about what job or career I would want in the future, and even if I did, I doubt I would have the qualifications for it at such a young age. 14 is an age of adolescence, and kids are probably going through a lot of hormone changes and adapting to being a teenager. This can cause them to make rash decisions or be irresponsible, which won’t benefit the workforce.
