YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS Learning the Value of a Dollar and Hard Work by Brooke Ezzo

eenage summer jobs are like a rite of passage; car hop at the local Sonic, movie attendant at the theater, or birthday host at the trampoline park. But due to the coronavirus, this summer looked a bit different.
With many business closings or limited staff and availability, getting a summer job for many teens in the area was harder than summers past. The shortage in opportunities and the on-going break from school led to a rise in creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. Side businesses seem to be popping up all over social media with kids posting advertisements for their new job ventures. It is nice to see this age group full of excitement and determination, to see their work ethic, even doing some jobs that most adults don’t like to do. And many are saving their money for future goals.
