[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen enough to know that between the kids with jobs and the kids who attend pricey camps all summer, I’d rather my kids be like the ones with jobs. Most of the overindulged kids we know are insufferable and I’m not going to raise a kid like that. [/quote]

Yep and making hiring decisions on new grads I’m going to pick the one that’s been working since 16 every day of the week. [/quote]

I do the same. Never hire the kids who went to big camps and summer internships. Never once had a paycheck. No work ethic [/quote]

My kid went to a great summer camp until he aged out. He's had regular summer jobs ever since. Plenty of other kids are just like him.[/quote]

If he’s had summer jobs then he wouldn’t be what we are talking about. Because his experiences as a young kid up to age 16 wouldn’t be on his resume. But kids who go to summer college programs and unpaid internships do put those on there, and any kid who can afford to have their parents support them instead of working like everyone else does usually has a deficit of common sense at best and a terrible sense of entitlement at worst.[/quote]
