American family traditions differ from those in other countries of the world. American children are taught independence at an early age, so it isn`t uncommon for American teenagers to get hired at their first jobs when they are 16 years old. This strong independence can also be seen when young people reach the age of 18. At this age they usually move out of the parents` house if they get accepted at a university or are offered a job. At a later age, it is not uncommon for families to be separated by long distances although this doesn`t necessarily mean that a close relationship is not maintained.
By which of the following the phrase «get hired» could best be replaced?
