What is the purpose of getting a job?

Work to learn, not to earn. Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad

As your kids approach their money earning years, ask your kids this question and get their ideas: What is the purpose of getting a job?

They’re going to say money. But I want to teach my kids that the purpose of getting a job is first to learn.

What skills can a teenager learn at their first job?

Punctuality

Hard Work

Cashiering

Math – Counting Money

Customer Service

Team work

As a bonus, watch what Olivia LeGasbi has to say about what she learned at work.

What are skills young adults can learn as they move into their first career jobs?

Learn how to make money for a company, this can include customer service, sales, upselling a product. Look at this as a learning opportunity and job security. This is such a valuable skill. Believe me, if you learn how to make money for the company you work for, this will translate directly into you knowing how to make money for yourself. Be responsible at work, ask for more responsibility, and then come through. When you are ready to move on from this job, so that you can learn even more at your next job, your boss will be so sad to see you leave.
