[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If the kid wants to, sure. Beware of safety issues. If the kid has no interest, and you don't need the money, don't push it. Teens don't need jobs to get into college. [b]Low-level jobs do not prepare for higher-level jobs.[/b] [/quote] Maybe not but they help kids get internships. My DH sits on the committee at his business who interview and hire interns. He said they rarely hire kids without any work history.[/quote] Then he's missing out. In my wealthy neighborhood, the immense majority of the kids never work before going to college. They're busy volunteering and doing other extra-curriculars. Unless your husband also considers unpaid work to be a form of work. But for college applications, it's a different bucket. [/quote]
