[quote=Anonymous]My teen got hired last summer at a restaurant near our house as a busboy/host. He and the manager realized a few days into his training that it didn't really make sense to invest in training him since he would be leaving in 10 weeks. They paid him for the three days of training he'd done and everyone moved on. He got a great merit scholarship at his school and honestly, we didn't need for him to have college savings. So, I told him to just blanket the neighborhood with fliers advertising his handy-kid services and he picked up about $1,200 doing random odd jobs for the neighbors. The experience of literally walking up and down the commercial strip near our house and landing a good job really worked wonders on his confidence level, even if it only lasted for a few days. LOL! He had no concerns about job hunting once he got to his college campus and got one right away. [/quote]
