[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you all think of my taking my 17 y/o nephew (who really wants a job and can't find one the conventional way) to BJs and buying some candy bars, snacks, etc and have him go around the neighborhood selling them?

No scam, no selling for charity spiel, etc. Just a young teen trying to make a couple dollars filling your sweet tooth. Thoughts?[/quote]

I don't think it's good. I never buy from those people, and wouldn't even open the door to him if he rang the bell. I don't know where that candy's been, what the money's going towards, and I always wonder why kids that age don't go get a retail job or a camp counselor job like I did when I was that age. Seriously, wtf? When I was 14 I was a camp counselor during the day, worked as a cashier at a supermarket after camp (4-7 on week days and 7am to 12pm on weekend mornings), plus I'd babysit nights. Why isn't he doing that? Tons of people, especially single moms of little boys, would hire a male babysitter especially one who's already been vetted to be a camp counselor. [/quote]
