What kind of horrible parents don't let their kids work from early on? It builds character, learns them the value of money, releases a lot of strain on the parents wallets and more importantly, prepares you for what is about to come.

If you haven't worked yet, anything, you are screwed. Especially if you hope to land something decent.

I was 12 when I started working. I was 20 when I head my first desk-job and when I was 22 I had actually landed my first consutlancy job - that's after 10 years of at least working.

Like Twesterm said, prepare to work on something pretty low in the working-class.

beautiful I agree 100% ive been since i was 16 years old.... not to be rude, but in general i find it to be pathetic if your over 18 and still livin off your parents like your 10..get a job dude

I think it's perfectly fine to still have your parents help you out until you graduate college and get your first real job, though I do agree that people really should start working during high school.  I probably started 10 or so on the farm and eventually moved to things with air conditioning which was nice but my parents helped me out all the way through college even though I still worked what I could.
