[quote=Anonymous]My high schooler works 20-22 hours a week all year round. Some of his hours are paid internship and others are regular jobs. I want my kids to work so that I have the opportunity to teach them how to manage money, how to save, how to do taxes, how to budget, how to figure out how much to spend on gifts and how to figure out how to be thoughtful within his gift budget. I want them to learn time management. I want them to pay some of their education expenses so that they are invested and make good decisions. My son doesn't stop at Starbucks because he knows it takes more than 30 minutes of work to buy a drink. He limited his college applications to those that mattered because he was paying part of the bill. He doesn't ask for more clothes or shoes than he needs because he knows how long it takes to earn the money to buy these things. I probably have more reasons, but these are kind of top of my list.
