That child is not cut out for a business career.

I know right? And $7, what a random number.

Np. If the 15 year is doing the same job you are doing why would you pay them less just because they are younger?

DP, but that’s the difference between caring for cats (especially if they hide and won’t come out) versus a dog (which you have to walk). Presumably her visits are lengthier than this kid’s will be.
