Where do gap year kids get their funds from? cos they've never worked.

Are you sure none of them have worked? Quite a bold statement.
His Dudeness
I started babysitting for a few different neighbours when I was 11. I worked in a clothes shop when I was 15. I worked in a garden center when I was 17. One can have put in quite a few working hours by the time one is 18. But, that type of child labour is probably unacceptable these days.
I am not so sure I was payed enough at any of these jobs to fund a round the world trip though. I generally spent my money on going out to cafes and clubs and on make up and clothes. Also on music casettes. The usual teen girl stuff, I suppose.
The jobs I did were part-time. I did not leave High School until I was 19.

I had a paper round aged 12, so I suppose the savings from that might have got me in taxi as far as the airport.
And if I'd of stuck the job out for a whole year instead of being sacked after 3 months, I may have had enough money for a sandwich and cup of coffee in the airport Starbucks.
Reply to this I started babysitting at a young age. Worked in a restaurant when I was 15, worked the concession stands for the games and scrubbed floors at my parents business. Did that all the way through school. And I still found time to get into trouble. 😊
