[quote=Anonymous]Here is my take. My 14 year old got a job this summer working part time at $14 an hour. He gets maybe 1 or 2 shifts per week, which is great since he has 4 weeks of vacation plus camps this summer. His best friend, also 14, applied to several jobs and got no offers - just luck of the draw and both kids are upper middle class at public schools. Benefit is that being at public school with a no homework policy, all he does is sports travel practice 2x per week, and then YouTube or video games. Keeps him grounded, and anything he makes we will match for his Roth IRA. We live close enough that he can get to work on his own, But it is tough for 14 year Olds to find a job with set hours.[/quote]
