To all those people who say why don't we work in cafe's and food chains like American teens.
They do it to save up for their own college fees .
It's not easy a lot of exploitation takes place at these food chains , restaurants , cafes . Already we have so much pressure for studies. We would die working daily after school.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST - POVERTY, it's one of the biggest problems in our country, Being a cashier , staff at restaurants and cafes is someone's DREAM JOB , Some people would die to have a stable job.
In america it's not , they do have poor people but it's easier to get a student loan and study over there . As it's very common for college students to pay their own fees through loan.
Also go watch a small documentary on YT channel up close, where a man is retiring from Taj hotel after working as a place butler .He is so proud of himself (he should be nothing wrong in that) he felt honoured serving rich people who come there . Other staff were also proud of themselves for cleaning rich people's rooms and serving them (again nothing wrong with that they are proud of their job)
BUT for most of us here it would be the last option to do so , or not even last cause dad /mom knows a guy .
Be grateful that your parents are willing to pay for your undergrad and probably masters too (if u are the one paying , proud of you) unlike american kids who have to take loans which can go up to $100000 and even above .
