[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell him that $35/hr is only good money if he doesn't have to pay for rent, utilities, insurance, etc. None of which he has to pay while in high school. That worked with my brother when he went through this phase in high school. He worked construction with his friend's dad and made a lot of money one summer. When my parents sat him down and did a budget of what he'd need to use that good paycheck on, it wasn't quite as enticing as it is as an 18 year old with no obligations/responsibilities. [/quote] 35 x 40 x 52 is 72,000 if he works 'full time'. Right out of high school that is excellent and will likely be much higher at 22 (avg age of college grad). But yes, the HS degree is important. He will regret not doing it later. [/quote]
