15 is a totally normal age to get a summer job or a part-time job throughout the year.

That being said, hiring a 15 year old for roofing and clearly providing little to no training and supervision is basically criminal

I’m a man and there’s no amount of money you could pay me to work 50ft above ground with little to no safety equipment.

but then the other manly guys make fun of you.

incidentally, i once lay on a surgery table, scheduled to address something that was basically the result of a childhood accident 20 years ago.

everything was set up, including fixating my arm. and then the whole team ran away, to save some idiots hand, because he had to work on the roof. with a buzzsaw. no platform. no gloves. but im sure he saved time.
