What do you think about child labor?

That is an interesting question because there are parts of the world that have no compunction about using child labor. as a mater of fact children working for almost nothing means the difference between we the wealthy western consumer purchasing or not purchasing many different goods such as chocolate coffee and many other things. And considering that I still see myself dealing with these amoral organisation I would say I don't have too much of a problem with it. Remember if it was not for people getting the right price they would not buy and there would be no cash to feed the slaves that make our lives a little more comfortable. There is nothing new about slavery, especially child slavery The level of our morality is more often then not directly connected to our wallet nerve and we are careful not to delve to deeply in case we start to feel too guilty about it. Children are active in the sex industry From newborns to teens if they live that long, they are used as soldiers as a matter of fact many cut price engagement ring are adorned by some of their efforts and they are used in nearly all other forms of industry both at home and abroad. Morality is a comfort that many cant afford if they are to survive,

Where can a 14 year old get a work permit in Colorado?

Work permits are normally acquired at the school or school board. I'd start with the high school office, they can direct you to the person in charge of issuing the permit. It's worth noting that the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Colorado Youth Law Guide, http://www.coworkforce.com/LAB/YouthLawFactSheet.pdf, specifically states that work permits are NOT required by Colorado law. It shows that the schools issue Age Certificates for employers that desire proof of age or School Release Permits for 14 or 15 year olds working during school hours.

What year did the child labor law go into effect?

In the United States it took many years to outlaw child labor. Connecticut passed a law in 1813 saying that working children must have some schooling. By 1899 a total of 28 states had passed laws regulating child labor.

Many efforts were made to pass a national child labor law. The U.S. Congress passed two laws, in 1918 and 1922, but the Supreme Court declared both unconstitutional. In 1924, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment prohibiting child labor, but the states did not ratify it. Then, in 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. It fixed minimum ages of 16 for work during school hours, 14 for certain jobs after school, and 18 for dangerous work.

Today all the states and the U.S. Government have laws regulating child labor. These laws have cured the worst evils of children's working in factories. But some kinds of work are not regulated. Children of migrant workers, for example, have no legal protection. Farmers may legally employ them outside of school hours. The children pick crops in the fields and move from place to place, so they get little schooling.

Child labor has been less of a problem in Canada because industry there did not develop until the 1900's. The Canadian provinces today have child labor laws similar to those in the United States. Most other countries have laws regulating child labor, too. But the laws are not always enforced, and child labor remains a problem.

Is moving or traveling involved if you are a child psychologist?

For most jobs in the Child Psychology field, frequent travel is not involved. They may attend a few conferences a year, but normally a psychologist in private practice will remain close to their client base, at home.

This is particularly true if they come from a rural area or a very small town.

The disadvantages of child labor is you are taking the short lived time out of child's life when they should be getting a good education and having fun with their peers.

Most teenagers are in relationships or in school and that means, lots of homework! A good way to pick a job is 1. Make sure that the times are good for you. 2. A well, paying job, that you agree with. 3. You don't wanna make your parents drive you back & forth everyday, so a job that is fairly close (unless you have your driver's license, that is.) * Again, most teenagers are in relationships or doing lots of homework so pick a job that you can work with. Example, if you are interested in sports. Why not ask go to a sports store or sports place to get a job. Where you could teach little children how to do sports. Another example is, clothes. A good place to go work with clothes is a department store like Abercrombie & Fitch. A place where most teens go for a job offer. There are many good places to get a job for a teenager. But, you have to remember to pick one that you will enjoy and not think is boring. Hope this helps! :) == == * Teens can get a good job working at I-Hop, the zoo or any food restaurant and only have to be 14 years old or even at the science center * There are plenty of jobs for teens - yard work, house cleaning, pet care, child care, those are a few examples, the possibilities are unlimited. * Work as a waitress or dishwasher in a local restaurant * Work In a grocery store, at the cashier * Work in a pet store * Baby Sitting * work in a supermarket * Work in the garden for people in your neighborhood That's most of the common things I can suggest (also maybe work in sports although I have no Idea if you're talented enough)
