Would you let your 9- year old child take a job? Boy submits an application for a job at a sweet shop.

Chores are important for kids from an early age. It is important to start them off with the necessary skills that will help them in life.

A nine-year-old boy (Ryan Dobson) applied for a job at his local confectionary shop because according to him, he wanted to help people "find tasty sweets". Though, the shop gently turned Ryan's application down on account of his age, the owner praises the boy for his "brilliant ideas" and offered him the job “to serve and measure out sweets”. 

Ryan dropped off a handwritten letter to Sweets and Treats in South Shields, England, after being told by his mother that treats and activities in the school holidays had to be paid for.

He said he would like the job as it would be "probably fun meeting happy, cheerful people and helping them find tasty sweets", and suggested he could hand out free samples to attract customers.

He also said he could work on the till because "I am in top maths at school".

Hmmmnnn, Another Richard Branson in the making, don’t you think?

Ryans letter in full:
Dear Sweets and Treats,
I would like to inform you that I would like a job at Sweets and Treats.
But not a full-time one as I am only nine (nearly ten).
I would love to have a job in your store because it is probably fun meeting happy cheerful people and helping them find tasty sweets.
My idea is to get Sweets and Treats more customers because more customers means more business.
I could stand outside of the door giving free samples of sweets and if they like the sweets then they can buy them.
I could even work at the till because I am good with money and I am in top maths set at school.
I hope you employ me because I would like a job and would enjoy a job.

Yours sincerely, Ryan.
