It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.
I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

I think it’s great for teenagers to have jobs, provided they’re not paying living expenses with their wages.
I washed dishes after school at a local cafe, and it was a great feeling to get a paycheck for the first time. I started because I wanted an iPod classic and my mom said no.
It was honestly a great life experience. I learned the value of money, I learned to work with people I didn’t necessarily care for, and it taught me that I didn’t want to do manual labor the rest of my life so I worked a bit harder in school.
There’s a lot of value to teaching kids the value of their time - and how little they get for it.
The “worked harder in school because of manual labour” didn’t work for me though.
