At the age of 14, Caelan started working part-time in a chip shop in Aberdeen.
He thinks getting a job at such a young age made him more responsible and confident.
"When I joined I was very shy," he says. "But now I can speak to people easily."
The laws governing when and where children under 16 can work were introduced in the 1930s to crack down on child labour and safeguard their wellbeing.
Children over 14 could be employed in 'light work' but many Scottish council areas require employers to also apply for a permit to take on a child.
Now, plans to change the law could make it easier for under-16s to work part-time.
The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill is currently making its way through the House of Lords with Royal Assent expected in the coming months.
The Scottish Parliament has given legislative consent for the provisions on child employment.
If passed, it would allow teenagers under 16 more flexibility on when they can work.
Caelan is positive about the benefits he gets from being a young worker.
Within a year of getting his job serving fish suppers at the Ashvale in Aberdeen, he says he was able to treat his mum to a holiday in Dubai.
His co-workers Kenzie and Erin both joined the takeaway and restaurant aged 15 and say they have had a similar experience.
Working around school hours gave Kenzie, now 18, the opportunity to save up for a car.
Erin said that although she was "really nervous" when she joined, she now doesn't "get scared talking to new people"...
