agreed, some parts of the country. utah, for example.

not in socal.

a little bit of money goes to some peoples' heads. why teens and college students shouldn't work part time, i don't understand.

some aggressive parents want their high school and college-aged kids to study and get a leg up on others. but, that only applies to a limited number of academically talented individuals.

for the most part, socal kids have far too much time on their hands, doing nothing.

Many of them do. My granddaughter is an A student at a local college, and she has two part time jobs. Many of her friends do the same thing.
