[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sort of low status to assume a brainless part-time job gives your kid grit, maturity, time management, whatever. Many of the biggest screw-ups I knew in high school always had jobs. Potheads had jobs ... perfect puritans had jobs. Jobs can be great but stop pretending scooping ice cream or washing lettuce or wiping a table guarantees is going to transform your immature prick.[/quote] +1 The potheads had jobs because they needed the cash to buy more weed. Hard to see how that is very admirable.[/quote] Yep. I was so proud of my teen working summers and on weekends in the school year until I found out he was buying tobacco and marijuana with his earnings. My parents made me deposit my job earnings into a savings account I couldn't withdraw from. Seemed too controlling, but now I know why.[/quote]
