[quote=Anonymous]But there's a difference between low wage jobs in fields you're interested in (or internships or volunteer work) and working in a shoe store to earn needed cash. The former aren't junkets, but they're still marks of privilege compared to the latter. FWIW, while I don't think that the high ticket community service abroad programs make the kids who do them more laudable than kids who do less glamorous types of community service closer to home and in programs that just want their time rather than their parents' money, I do think that many of the foreign programs involve real service and can be eye-opening experiences for at least some of the kids who participate.
