Working Students

 

In places like Canada, the USA, Spain, England and many other countries in Europe it is very common to see teenagers working during their free time. They work in restaurants or shops; they work as baby sitters or dog walkers. There are many part time jobs for students. Many students work part time during the year and full time during their summer vacation.

  Things are different in Brazil. Teens usually work only if their families need money. There are not many part time jobs for students. Working students usually work during the day and go to school in the evening. A few students who do not need the money work part time as volunteers in social projects, but they are not many.

  Is that just a cultural difference or is it some kind of prejudice?
