I mean my kids all work during high school too. How do they have spending money if they aren’t working?

10-15hrs a week during high school
20-30hrs during summer
10hrs a week during college

What jobs? my son was in school all day then practice every night and then some Saturday practices. So what would work around that schedule?

Yes, we get it. Your snowflake can't work. He wouldn't be a good employee anyway because he's been raised that the sun rises out of his a$$.

Was going to suggest lifeguarding. Especially if at the Y or an fitness facility where the pool is open for many more hours than a neighborhood pool would be. This allows for a lot more scheduling options

Every time there is one of these threads, the answer is always lifeguarding, which is a great, maybe the perfect, summer job. However, not all kids are strong swimmers, which is why it's helpful to hear about jobs other than lifeguarding that might accommodate summer practices.

You're a moron. Kids that go to school and have scheduled practices are "snowflakes" now? Are you always this big of a judgmental a$$hole?

Because every place wants adults with open schedules now. How is this even a question? Go to Walmart, CVS, Target, any retail clothing store. It’s all adults. They don’t want kids there any more.

Not the PP but that is not true at all. I see plenty of young kids in all of those locations.

I call BS. I rarely see teenagers at the retail places anymore. Where I grew up, you could go into any retail place, any restaurant . . . and you'd know many of the people working there. I worked at hotels, grocery stores, restaurants and was always working with peers. Not only do I not see that here, none of my kids' friends are doing these things. They are lifeguards, tutoring, babysitting/nannying, mowing lawns, etc.

You all must be lower County and DC areas with all the immigrants and illegal aliens. Go outside of your world and teens work all of these jobs because 30yr olds don’t normally need a $10/hr job

I'm in NOVA and I see lots of retired aged people (white haired people) working as baristas, checkouts, waiting tables, Old Navy.

And don't lecture me about "what teens do" as I started working in all sorts of sh-- service jobs at 14. I'm aware of what poor people do.

Chik-fil-A is the best job for teens without much extra time. There are many, many kids that just work 1 or 2 four-hour shifts per week. Get in an application now to start work/training. Then you can increase your hours in June/July before scaling back down to 1 or 2 shifts per week once August rolls around.

All kids should be strong swimmers, why isn’t yours?

If your teen is so overscheduled that they can't have a job, or you don't value them having a job, why are you even on this thread?

My straight A teen goes to school, has a time consuming extra curricular, AND has a job! Imagine that! Looks great on college applications.

Passing the lifeguard test is hard, especially if you are on the smaller side! Luckily, mine did, but it's not something everyone can do. I would be able to pass it! There are other flexible jobs at pools, though. They tend to hire more teens than they need b/c there is ALWAYS a scheduling issues. I think that camp was the easy answer, though.

My DD works as a vet technician. She worked 9-12 grade full summer 40 hours and 10 hours during high school. She is now in Direct Admit to veterinarian school out of state. She works 40 hours during summer and the 6 weeks she is home for Christmas she works 40 hours each of those 6 weeks. She works 5 hours at college in an Avian Laboratory for research purposes. The Vet LOVES to have her back....she was trained to be a Tech but not she is training to be a vet....She also gets a supstantial Christmas bonus. Very worthwhile experience. She make $14 and hour.

And She comes and goes during the summer. Last summer she left mid July to tour Italy with her boyfriend for a month before going back to college. The Vet had her back at Christmas NO ISSUE!!! She ends up making about $560 a week and works 14 weeks a year for them.

I don't have to justify why I'm on here to you.

I'm not the OP but band at our school has a very intense schedule that is different every day and varies week to week as well. There are weeks where it is 3.5 hours a break and then back for another 3 hours. There is no way to predict the schedule ahead of time.

I’m the OP and yes, possibly same school, it’s pretty much 9-9 everyday that needs to be available M-F. So maybe one weekend shift but you’re pretty tired so would want them to have at least one day off.

Please list the school that works bans members for 12 hour days. Give me a break LOL

NP. Not 12 hours but the marching band requirement at McLean HS is crazy. Its three weeks before school starts every week day. The practices go from 9-2. A three hour break, and then 5-8 (9?) most days. Its nutty. I think its more than most of our fall sports commitments in the summer.

We cannot afford a car, gas and insurance for my teen to get a job at the moment.
