As the title implies, Stop whining and get a job! Well, herein lies the problem... Many teen aged people do not want to WORK. They want to get a paycheck! As a small business owner, I have had to deal with this problem for years. It has nothing to do with the type of work or how much they are making, they simply do not want to WORK. I will no longer keep in my employ people who just stand around and expect a paycheck at the end of the week. It starts at home people! As parents we need to stop giving everything to our children and expect nothing in return. Kids are no longer taught that they have to WORK for things they want and therefore have NO work ethic.
