[quote=Anonymous] I think with the quote today of only 20% of 2014 college graduates having a job, it would be quite reasonable to see if this teen could increase her volunteer hours to 20 per week during the summer as well as seeing if she could at least watch children as a sitter on the weekends or in the evenings as I do know part-time jobs can be hard to find. Another important thing to consider is that if she has any idea of fields she may want to enter in terms of college study, then she might also look for an unpaid internship or to do a couple of "job shadow" experiences. Either of these things might help in her college application process. What is expected of this teen within her family unit can vary, but it is important for any older teen not to become to self-preoccupied as the wider world does not operate on entitlements. All kids should have chores to do, a budget to learn how to manage money with choice on wants versus needs. [/quote]
