If they earn more than like a grand a month, which at 16 you'd have to work more than 50 hours even without the still compulsory full time education, that'd be a stretch. Someone who's 16 is unlikely to be hired for anything which pays more than minimum.

College has to be full time too, for under 18s. But I guess full time might not take the same amount of hours per week as school, and even sixth formers get free study periods.

But either way, they're unlikely to be paying taxes.
