[quote=Anonymous]I worked hourly jobs (retail, restaurants) in high school and feel strongly that my kids should do a low rate hourly job at some point. I did not grow up wealthy but those experiences were important to me in 1) understanding what that kind of $ actually buys and 2) respecting how hard people with hourly jobs work. In college I did earn internships in my field, and that was important for my success. My DH grew up wealthy and has never had a job purely for the sake of earning $. His parents helped him get unpaid internships etc to boost his college applications. That was the case for many of the people I went to school with but especially my DHs law school crowd. I still remember being at a store and hearing the cashier talk about how great his second job was because he could sometimes nap for an hour or two- since he was working 2 8 hour shifts most days.
