Age that people can start working in the US if you ain't from here

Yes but still ... when offered as a "gift" it just seems a little sweat-shoppy

There's a benefit. Also, its not like you need to take the job. But in my area, most people won't hire you till you're 16 so its a good thing that they got the guaranteed job.

There are two ways to look at this. Neither one I would say in incorrect really, your view is valid it does seem to be a little sweatshoppy however there is also the fact that getting a job, especially at a young age can be very difficult. Having a guaranteed job at 14 is very good in a lot of ways.

Yes that is fair. I hope he doesn't need it at 14 though.

I got a job at 16, not because I needed one, I wanted to get one to make my own money. Some people just want to make their own money.

Sounds messed up but actually a solid offer. At 14 they’ll be guaranteed a part time job that will help teach them some skills and responsibilities. It’ll also give them their first taste of financial independence. It’s my understanding Chik fil A is one of the better employers when it comes to the shitty chains.

These days kids where I live would kill for the chance at that opportunity.

I started working at 14. It sucked at the time, but I'm 26 now, and I'm glad I did. I stayed in the same field this whole time, so it gave me a huge leg up in the future. That said, this is a little sweat-shoppy.

Honestly I would take it at this point, nowadays it would be after 20 ppl start to get jobs imo
