Helping Hand: Teens Do Good With Social Nets

The vast majority of teens (88%) use social networking sites daily, including 70% who spend at least an hour or more on such sites each day, finds Junior Achievement and Deloitte. Most (58%) would consider the ability to access social networks at work when evaluating a job offer from a potential employer. However, they do not consider the reactions of college admissions officers (40%), present or future employers (38%), or parents (30%) when they post something to a social network.
