  • Hello and welcome to Six Minute English.

  • I'm Neil and joining me today is Dan, who is a producer at BBC Learning English.

  • That is his job.

  • Hi everyone.

  • Yes, that is my job, obviously.

  • Why are we discussing that now, Neil?

  • Well, you haven't always been a producer at BBC Learning English.

  • Have you?

  • I used to be a teacher.

  • And before that, you know, way back, your first ever job?

  • Ah, I had a paper round when I was 14.

  • A paper round is a job.

  • The job of delivering newspapers to people's homes.

  • It's often done by teenagers.

  • Fourteen seems very young to be at work.

  • And that's the topic of this Six Minute English.

  • Should school children have jobs?

  • It seems fewer and fewer have these days.
