[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These jobs are not good for career they should be doing tech or legal  work or something related to their future[/quote]

Making money is directly related to their future. As someone who hires recent college grads a lot. I always look for the ones that haven't done all internships. Have you worked outside all summer?  Have you worked in a non office job?  Have you had a service job?  Worked with the public? Those tell me a lot more about someone's ability to be flexible and communicate then a kid who spent all summer sitting in an office because their parent has a connection for an "internship."[/quote]

From K-12,  my teen was doing volunteer work, ECs, traveling, camps and classes, and working as camp counselors and summer teaching jobs. Did not make a single cent. Just got lots of Learning Hours.

In college, he  does one year-round research work in a university lab and a full time STEM internship (competitive internship) during the summer. He gets paid only for the STEM internship.  Straight A, high achiever student.

My kids never had to work for spending money because their uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins have always treated them cash, goods and experiences. Also, my kids are frugal and quite a bit nerdy, so what they want usually does not fall under the kind of things that teens spend money on. Simple living, high thinking. [/quote]
