PART-TIME JOBS FOR TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS

Part-time jobs for American students are very popular but usually begin during their high school days. Besides working in fast food restaurants and small cafeterias, a very popular job for a teenager in America is baby-sitting. This has its greatest appeal among teenage girls and a good baby-sitter can earn quite a bit if she is reliable, responsible and mature.

It is not necessarily an easy job and requires both social skill and general competence. A good baby-sitter should know how to change diapers and earn the respect of the children she is looking after. She must be able to get the children ready for bed and keep an eye on them even while they are sleeping. In addition, she should be able to handle any unexpected emergency with common sense and be calm at all times. She should know the emergency numbers of the hospital and police for situations which require assistance.

Once the children are asleep, the baby-sitter is free to watch TV or listen to music. If she is really conscientious about her studies, she may well spend the time doing her homework but should not tie up the phone with personal calls just in case the parents want to be in contact with her.

Such a job often involves working on Friday and Saturday nights when many married couples like to spend the night going to a movie or the theater. On such occasions, they will leave their children in care of a dependable baby-sitter.

Other part-time jobs which are popular especially among young boys are a paper route or mowing the lawns of the people in one's neighborhood. These jobs also require a sense of maturity and responsibility and can be a sort of good income for a high school student. Young boys who run paper routes are required to get up early in the morning to deliver the daily news regardless of the weather. This job has no holidays and requires the newspaper to be delivered every day without exception. In America, there are no newspaper holidays.

If they choose to mow lawns, part of the job responsibilities may require that they also periodically rid it of weeds and occasionally re-seed areas which have been burned by the sun or thinned out by wear. During the winter, a snowstorm can become another source of income for the teenagers. The young boys make their rounds through their neighborhood equipped with a shovel and offer to clean sidewalks or stoops in front of homes or to dig out a car buried in a meter of snow. These jobs, dependent on the weather, require stamina, diligence, discipline and a spirit of the entrepreneur.

While part-time jobs for high school students may be frowned upon in Japan, in America they are often seen as an opportunity to teach young people about work responsibility and respect for others. The young people learn how to become part of the adult world and to share in the making of society.

Taimi Taskinen is an 83-year-old woman who lives in a care home called Rudolf House in Helsinki, Finland. A care home is a place where old people can live and be looked after if they don't live with their families. At Rudolf House, there are lots of stairs, so there are some rooms which elderly people can't access easily. As a result, the city council decided to rent these spare rooms to young people. They called this new housing programme 'The House that Fits'. When Taimi heard about the council's plan, she wondered how it was going to work. 35.1... She couldn't imagine what she'd have in common with young people who weren't family members. Then, one morning a few days later, a young man appeared outside her room. 35.2

'Hi! I'm your new neighbour,' the young man said. 'My name's Jonatan Shaya. Mind if I come in?' 'Please do,' she replied, immediately curious. 'I'll make coffee,' he announced, going into her tiny kitchen. 'Why don't you tell me about yourself?' he asked, as he brought their drinks to the table. 35.3 She also told him about her family and how much she loved making art.
In turn, 20-year-old Jonatan told Taimi he'd been living in Helsinki with his mother and younger brother until they moved away. He was in the middle of a course in the city, training to become a chef. 35.4 That's when he heard about 'The House that Fits' on social media. The council's post resulted in over 300 young people applying to live at Rudolf House. They had face-to-face interviews and wrote short essays about why they wanted to live there. 35.5 And that's how the unlikely friendship between Taimi and Jonatan began.
