    Most children are taught at an adolescent age that they must go to school to gain the opportunity to have a better life. A better life in the eyes of most is the equivalent to having a lot of money and being able to use it to live. When parents are providing the essential needs for a working-age teen the money obtained from a job gives a false sense of successfulness even at the current minimum wage amount.
