Forum:Adding teenagers to unemployed category

Forums: Index → Community discussions → Adding teenagers to unemployed category | Post

I suggest that the community as a whole should decide whether we should add the unemployed category for Teen Sims. Apparently Nikel said that he believed the value was unneeded for teenagers. I sort of agree, but then I also think that adding the category would be more accurate. However Young Adult Sims don't have this parameter (because they have college instead) either, so I'm sort of half and half when deciding whether or not I think that the unemployed value is relevant for teenagers.

I'm stumped. I'd like to see what others have to say on this matter. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 22:27, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

I personally see it as teens automatically being "unemployed" unless they are "working teens", so it seems redundant to say that a teen is unemployed to me. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 00:23, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

True. But the thing is that adults are automatically "unemployed" unless they get a job. So I'm still unsure about it. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 00:28, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

I think the difference here is that adults are assumed to work where teens are not. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 00:43, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

I guess so. (shrugs) -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 00:54, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Icemandeaf. I only ever see teens as "students" unless they have a job, so I don't think that teens without a job should be added to the unemployed category because that would include the majority of them (I think) and could "clutter it up". ~ Waikikamukow (Anyone wanna chat?) 02:15, December 5, 2014 (UTC)
