[quote=Anonymous] My menial jobs during the summers in college didn’t really build any skills for me, but they put me environments where I was surrounded by people with completely different financial and life circumstances than me, which is priceless. Kids growing up in UMC bubbles with zero first hand knowledge, nor curiosity, about how other people live, going off to college thinking they have all the answers to society’s problems… blech.[/quote] This. My DS is 19 and it was eye opening for him to work in minimum wage jobs with people who are parents trying to support their families on what he earns. It really helped him show gratitude for what he has. We are middle class but he goes to private school with wealthier kids who are given everything so that's what he sees. These jobs have helped him understand that we are far from poor even though we get substantial FA.[/quote]
