[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of 2 college students. They both work summer jobs and have since high school. This has varied from summer camp counseling to Capitol Hill internships. Neither currently works during the school year. One goes to a SLAC where the on campus jobs are all taken by financial aid recipients, and there are very few student job in the small college town (happens to be a place with a not great economy so there are plenty of locals desperate for the work).

Almost all their friends have worked at least part of the summer, and many have on campus jobs. Are there really that many kids who aren't doing some kind of work during their college years? I just don't see that at all.[/quote]

Agreed.  Every single one of my kids' friends (kids are rising college soph and rising high school junior) works during the summer at the very least - so e during the school year.  Are they working at McDonald's or BK?  No, but lifeguardjng, nannying, retail, hosts/servers/bussers, absolutely.  I'm just not seeing these countless unemployed kids that some do. [/quote]
