legalizing apprenticeships where kids can actually make money is an excellent way to prepare kids for the future, way more than our current system does.
beyond that, I challenge you to name any conservative that actually wants to bring back the orphan factories of old.
Teenager. The word you're looking for is teenager. How dare teenagers be able to work a job to save for a car/college/a nice date? This never happened before!!! /s
children and teenagers are indeed underaged and cannot consent to things like sex, but work is not sex. There's nothing permanent about work, there are laws in place to protect workers, and establishing some sort of income early on helps kids get ahead in life.
I frankly find it concerning that you would conflate honest work with sex.

Nobody was talking about that so why do you bring up this strawman?
Did the 10 year olds who were found working nightshift at McDonald's "apprentices"?
How about this? Do you think working nightshift serving alcohol is appropriate for children?

A teenager is still a child.
My pedo-sense is tingling. Are you one of those who also think that children should be able to get married?
