[quote=Anonymous] "Having kid do clerical at Dad's office is essentially a "make work" job." This is not always the case. We have a small family biz (just me and DH) DS who is 15 has already helped us by working for me at the front desk during summers and vacations when I have to travel with another child (like to visit colleges!) He has learned a lot--about work, dealing with people, etc. I will certainly encourage him to put this experience on his future college applications--along with the fact that he has been "working for himself" since about age 11, shoveling snow, walking dogs, and other odd jobs around the neighborhood. That "odd jobs" and "entrepreneurial" experience was looked on quite favorably when he applied to boarding school last year (I know because the admissions people told me so)[/quote]
