[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just corporate greed? Or can we not find people who want to do the menial jobs anymore? I know very few high schoolers who work “normal” jobs like babysitting and grocery bagging. They are busy on their phones or else doing prestigious resume building volunteer work or paid work. Every barista I know is past college age. [/quote]

They go to school all day, then they have homework, sports, and extracurriculars that are necessary for college applications. Let's be generous and say that leaves 2 hours/day on average for paid work. Assuming you can find somebody hiring for such a short schedule, is it worth the wage? Especially if you can get an office job or online job instead?

As with real estate, the reason it isn't selling is always price. Those jobs don't pay enough, especially for the few hours available to students. [/quote]

Oh I am not arguing that high schoolers are being unreasonable! It’s how things are set up now unfortunately. It would be worthwhile for my son to bag groceries and interact with the elderly in his neighborhood, but being college prep I also feel the pull of application building. [/quote]
