[quote=Anonymous]DD is 16 and wants a job (would be first job).  We are a middle class family, with HHI in the $220K range, so money from job will be for her own use.  DH and I come from poor backgrounds and have worked since we were both 14, so it feels normal to us for her to work.  We'd like to find something with benefits to get her accustomed paying into 401K, meeting expectations to someone other than family (being on time, having to be somewhere, time management) and learning how to perform under pressure without us there to save the day..

She is not interested in babysitting, life guarding, tutoring or food service.  I think she heard that Target raised their minimum wage to $13hr (starting in June), so that's her first choice.  But I'm wondering are there any other options out there?  Any places that offer tuition reimbursement for long term part-time employees? or 401k matching for part timers?  She'd like to work about 25 hours in the summer and 8-12 hours during the school year.  I was thinking about TJMAXX, HomeGoods, Marshalls, Starbucks or Wegmans/Giant.

Any suggestions/discussion/opinion on the topic is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
