Finding my first job was hard. There are a number of opportunities that can benefit teens, but they are offered for college students. Several adults are always complaining about “my generation”. I would like to know what those adults are doing to helps us get these opportunities.

If there were more internships and jobs, it could help teens better choose their career in addition to making them more interested, encouraged to do better, and motivated to learn. I would like to major in; law, medical, and or technology as one of my career choices, but I could not find any programs that could accomplish my goals in participating in these fields. It is important to help teens with fulfilling their dreams.

We want more opportunities because most of them are provided to college students who are legally adults. This is unfair. I think that adults can help teens achieve by giving their support and participating in sponsoring programs, and offering jobs because together we can do great things.
