  • From “Financially Inclined”: How to make the workforce work for you
    Feb 7 2024

    Hey Million Bazillionaires! Bridget and Ryan are working on new episodes for our upcoming brand new season. In the meantime, we’re getting a lot of notes from our listeners asking about different types of jobs and how to get them. We’ve talked before about why kids under a certain age generally don’t have jobs. But for our listeners who still have questions, we’re turning to our friends at Marketplace’s podcast about money for young people, Financially Inclined. Here’s how host Yanely Espinal answered that question, plus extra tips on how to do well in the workplace.

Awesome podcast for kids

A very interesting & fun podcast for kids to learn everything about money throughout the podcasts. I stop it periodically to ask comprehension questions & clarify things if they don’t understand. Maybe ad a PDF worksheet reviewing?
