[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be a troll post.

OP said nothing about why she thought it would be a bad idea.[/quote]

This is OP. I thought I made myself clear but maybe not. She doesn’t need money so there’s no practical reason for a job, plus I don’t want her to spend her summer alone and not make friends.[/quote]

PP here. You have to be kidding. She can learn about money for her future. She can actually open a custodial IRA using this money. This is a fantastic way for her to learn about saving. The lessons learned about working in the real world are invaluable. She can make friends at work.

Why would you want her to make friends with kids she won't see again during the school year? That makes no sense.

My kids already know that age 15 or 16 and up, they are getting summer jobs. Some they can spend, some they can put in an IRA or save for college. They will learn what things they like and don't like about work (how they deal with people).

There is no value to sleepaway camp. [/quote]
