[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] None. Unless the child wants a job for pocket money, or the family needs the extra income, it doesn't help for resume-building. [/quote] It all builds on their life experience. Sure, working retail does suck, but teaches a valuable lesson about working with people in public. Refereeing teaches leadership and other responsibilities. Match the money they make and invest it in a Roth IRA. Only working 6 to 10 hours per week and doesn't interfere with non-existent homework.[/quote] +10000 It's not about a resume, it's about life and life experiences. My kid will never 'need' to work, but they will have to find some sort of job or internship or work training program once they are 14. I don't want them to work full time all summer, just a hand full of hours each week to develop responsibility and accountability to the outside world.[/quote]
