Forced to get a job

If it's your parents who are making you get a job then try and convince them to let you do chores around the house for money instead. If they insist on a job, maybe tell them that it'd be too much to manage along with GCSEs and other things. Or just go with it and find something that you enjoy doing!

Hi I'm 15.

Is it crazy that I really don't want a job?

I think I'm being forced into getting one.

It is worthwhile if you can get a job (I'm assuming part time or temporary), especially if you haven't had one before. I would seriously suggest you consider it. Your age will make it a bit trickier though. Why is that you don't want a job?

I'm planning on staying in education for a long time so I really don't see it as vital. I'm aiming for Oxbridge so I'd rather study. I understand that it's a nice opportunity but I just don't feel it.

I've already got work experience as I volunteer at a museum, so there's no "coming-of-age discovery" for me.

I'm considering it but the fact I'd have to work with children puts me off even further. (I am REALLY bad with children.)

I'm also planning to stay in education for a long time, and aiming for Oxbridge. I currently have a temporary job for the Summer. It is useful, it gives you experience of proper work, and the money isn't bad. You could save some for university. You could try and find something other than working with children, but sometimes we have to do stuff we don't like.

Anyway, it is your choice, but I would recommend it, at least for a few weeks.

Nice to hear Thanks for the advice. I hope that I haven't come across as lazy.
