[quote=Anonymous]I know young professionals who had parents like this and some parents who say that school is their kids "job". Those kids often had a tough transition into the working world. We wanted to make sure DC understood what it's like to work hard jobs and not just study and then go into a professional job. Starting around 10, they mowed lawns, weeded, waited tables, walked dogs, fed pets while owners were away, baby sat, door dashed, camp counseled, and so on. I would have been fine with them doing things like construction, etc. but it is not as easy to get jobs like that around here. Even trying to be an EMT in DC requires a commitment that can't be met if you are planning to leave the area for college. [/quote]
