No Lame Hires
Motoki:
True, I just never have seen cars in the college town other than to drop them off or pick them up. I suppose it would work though. The only real difference seems to be that sims don't age a day at 6pm.

Do the YAs run off to their job like they do to class? And what if the class or a final is at the same time. Hmm. Lots to consider. :P
Well, presumably, their carpool would come for them. And if their class or final is at the same time? Well, bugger, then. Gonna have to break your kneecaps. Besides, it can't be worse than hiring teens, where their job *WILL* conflict with EVERY SINGLE DAY of school...
Hrm. Wait... so the game doesn't take into consideration if a sim is a teen? I mean, for teen jobs, all the hours are after school. If a teen gets hired for a business, do business related jobs only have a set in stone schedule that all employees abide by? Are all businesses, no matter what type they are, 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri dealies?

If you hire a playable teen for your business, the game will assume the hours are 9-5 Mon - Fri, just as it does for other Sims, playable or not. I don't know if it's possible to change this or not, but it makes hiring playable teens a recipe for disaster. They work 9-5, period, and when the car pool and school bus arrive at the same time in the morning, they get in the car pool instead of the school bus. So they don't go to school :(

That's right. Not particularly sure how this should be dealt with, but certainly hiring teens is a far worse problem than hiring YAs. YAs can manipulate their schedules easily, and missing a day of work out of an average of 3 to attend finals isn't fatal (classes being optional).
School is somewhat less optional. You may need to take up Ingelogical schooling.
Hitch:
How hard would it be to change the "Employee" schedule if the "Employee" is a teen to 3 PM to 8 PM (and they only get paid for 5 hours instead of 8)? I'm sure it's pretty difficult as a hack at this point, but it seems it wouldn't be all that complicated for Maxis. That would make "Employee" a very viable teen job.
