Young Entrepreneurs – Running a Business
*
from your Kitchen Table In 1997, around 42% of 16-17 year-old students in the UK had a Saturday job. In 2014, that had gone down to 18%. So what’s happening? Let’s find out about young people making money their way. The Saturday Job

Now that has become a lot more rare*, as young people say they want to focus on their studies more.
