[quote=Anonymous]^I also disagree with the notion that you have to grind it out for a job to learn work ethic. If you really have an interest in something, it becomes not a job but a career and you will be successful. Anyone who has to grind it out in a job just because you need a job, is either not a very happy person and/or not all that successful and living paycheck to paycheck for that job. The trick is not feel like you are working. The trick is to find something you are good at and have the discipline to focus and do well at it. That takes time and luck, it takes trial and error and it's the opportunity as a parent you want to give your kids if at all possible. That's what allows them to succeed. Of course they have to learn to work hard but I'm not sure a summer job earning minimum wage is really providing more value than figuring out what career they may want over many years.[/quote]
