[quote=Anonymous]To the poster who asked about age appropriate jobs, here are my son's summer jobs. Year he turned 16, he worked at a pool cafe at a nearly country club. Good first job. Made tons of money especially at the end of the summer when the college kids left. He was working 12 hr days nearly every day for 2-3 weeks. Not set schedule. Year he turned 17, he wanted something else. He applied everywhere with help wanted signs and only got one interview. He must have applied to 25+ places. He was hired at a chain restaurant as a host but didn't start until mid July. No set schedule. This summer, he is 18 and I made him apply to summer camp jobs back in Jan/Feb. He interviewed with one in mid March and was hired in early April. Set M-F schedule and he knows exactly how much he is making. He has time in the evenings to go to the gym and spends weekends with friends. My vote is to look early for summer only jobs- pools, country clubs, summer camps, etc.[/quote]
