This is just so not true.  
They say if you made it to management positions at retail/fast food as a high schools, you may get good results.
It almost certainly requires some parental connection to make management positions at retail/fast food at the age of 16, as it requires years of devotion to the job.  As far as I know, no retail/fast food is taking 12 years old kid.  [/quote]

Summer between junior and senior year is 12 year old summer.

Consultants seem to agree on two things that shocked me.

The value of becoming an eagle scout.
The value of a retail customer facing job.

Apparently, the 4 or 5 years it takes to become an eagle scout is more impressive than the 6 or 7 years it takes to become a BJJ brown belt or the 8 or 9 years it takes to be a competitive (but not recruitable) club baseball player.
By a LOT!!!  Who even does boy scouts anymore?

Apparently, a minimum wage retail job is usually more impressive than most internships, especially if it is also during the school year.

Honestly, I was shocked too.
