I wouldn't say there's necessarily a perfect time to start working but in general if you work at a younger age and gain experience early the better, as many jobs are going to want people with experience. My biggest recommendation would be to get an internship at a company if and when you're able to; If you are in college then your school may be able to help get you connections to a company to intern for. If not, then looking on websites such as LinkedIn for internships will be very helpful.

Hello Patrick, "Work" is something we do to earn money or to accomplish something we deem to be worthwhile. You may have done some work already, like mowing lawns or doing odd jobs for people. As adults, we work at a job that requires a certain skill. If we are lucky, we can do work that we enjoy. Sometimes we call this work our "vocation" or "profession" or "calling."
"Experience" comes from doing different kinds of work. It is never too soon to get experience by doing different kinds of work. As you look for a job, whether it is part-time or full-time, employers will ask you what experience you have to do the job they have to offer.
If you don't have experience related to this new job, you need to be able to demonstrate that you have been able to learn new skills to fulfill the jobs you have already held. That's where overcoming challenges enters in.
Any new job will present you with challenges - either to perform a new task, deal with customers (and other employees), etc. That is the reason that we continue to learn. Earning a high-school diploma or a collge degree demonstrates that we have a certain capability or skill. And that we have already overcome some challenges to get that far. The Degree or Diploma does not guarantee that we can do a given job, but it does show the prospective employer that we have tackled some challenges and been successful.
I hope that helps you Patrick. Start looking for those challenges!

Hi Patrick!
I think it makes sense for you to start work whenever makes sense for you! The traditional path usually looks like middle school, high school, college and then work. But honestly what does traditional even mean anymore?
Everyone's life and path looks different. I think it's more important to spend time finding a career path that you resonate with and then work with the timeline that makes the most sense.

If you are asking at what age, it depends on your situation. I personally had to start working @ the age of 16 just to survive, but my kids have been told that I have them covered and they just need to focus on school. If you don't have to work early, focus on your studies. The better your grades, the better to potential opportunities that might come your way.
Once you are out of HS, if you aren't going to college, I'd say start something right away. The sooner you get going, the more of a relationship you can build with your employer and the better change of moving up.
Regarding overcoming challenges, I slept in a car for a short while during my college years. Didn't have a place to live, but wanted to finish school. I remember telling myself that I would look back at that tough time and remember to be appreciative for what I have and not take anything for granted. The mindset has helped me a lot.

Personal Choices: Think about when you're most productive during the day. Some people work better in the morning, while others are more efficient later in the day.

1. Set a alarm to wake up every morning that fits your routine
2. Be consistent at everything you do
Main two answers I give to you is going to be a stepping stool for you to use because it is rather important to do because its the little things that matters and it will get you far enough where everyone will notice without you explaining the process of your development. Main thing that helps me is knowing why I started to make such a big change in the first place. Goal after goal, time after time, so little you have so make the best of it by showing the world your character. Find a mentor to help you throughout the process and ask questions every time.
Look in the mirror
Be the person you want to become
Put who you were bottled up on a shelf and leave it there and look at it 6 months from now
after 6 months did you see change? How does it make you feel?
Repeat the process and keep putting your bad habits you don't like on the shelf.
