[quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who loved her summer minimum wage work experiences? Not that I loved every minute, but mostly it was very doable work that I didn't have to stress over or bring home with me. And in each one I learned so much (about other people, and about whatever niche it was. Now I know what a motel maid's life is like, a little. What it's like to be a server. Or work in retail.) I think you should encourage your daughter to work more hours (if you're talking about the summer. 10 hrs is plenty if it's in the school year.) But I don't think you should worry about whether it's paid or volunteer work, unless your family really needs the money. Often there are better opportunities in volunteer work. Just make sure she takes it seriously and treats it like a real job. (not calling in sick if she wants to go to the beach or whatever.) [/quote]
