Most people turn 18 during the last year of high school, which means that there is a very significant chance that the dev in question is still covered under child labor laws.
Maybe it is because I grew up in the North East United States, but when I was in high school, my classmates only worked seasonal or afternoon jobs.
The high school I went to let seniors who had jobs leave at noon. They took the core classes but not electives and were allowed to graduate as long as their boss confirmed that they were working and not just skipping class. It was legal.
