[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By comparison, my son works at a STEM day camp in Bethesda for $17-something an hour, 7:50 to 4:20, and during the week of pre-training and clean-up, about 9 to 4. I think your son's situation isn't right - either he should work less or be paid more. If he doesn't get what he wants, he leaves politely. That way the camp understands that they cannot keep exploiting young people. He'll be doing future counselors a favor. [/quote] Your son isn’t also getting room and board, which I’m assuming OP’s son is. [/quote] Depending on location, people may not want to live away from family at this camp-so it’s not necessarily a plus. Lots of jobs pay extra to get people to live onsite rather than at home. Yes for many adults free housing and meals is a plus but but OP’s kid is 18 and has a home and it doesn’t compensate for paying him 5$/hr when minimum wage is triple that in a lot of states. [/quote]
