I’m not a coffee girl (well, occasionally I enjoy a refreshing iced coffee or cap, but that’s very rare) so I’ve never been bitten by the Starbucks craze. But all I have to do is log onto one of my favorite celeb gossip sites (shout out to PopSugar.com!) to see any number of young Hollywood teens partaking in the java fad. On a sidenote: is coffee really a fad? Probably not. At any rate, Miley Cyrus is big on Starbucks, as are any number of the gals from the High School Musical movies, Gossip Girl, etc. And if I’m noticing it, your teens are noticing it. Heck, they may already been well into their coffee addictions already. So why not put one of their passions to good use? Starbucks has loads of online information, hire at age 16 on up, and even offer benefits depending on how many hours you work. Now, the benefits part is probably not that important to your teen right now, but if it’s a job they stick with through high school and college (and what college town doesn’t have a Starbucks?), having a job with benefits will come in handy while they’re looking for “real work.” So, check it out and pass along the info to your teen. Maybe they’ll even be able to bring home some free joe for you!
