Take her over to Sidamo. Mimi will let her have a go.
My first job ever was at a TJ Maxx. Your 2 y/o would do just fine.

Mine recently wanted to apply for a job as a horse farm manger, and got very angry when I mentioned that I didn't think she was qualified, given her school schedule. So she already has some leads.

I'm sure whatever they choose will be abandoned, half-done, on the nearest dining room table.
At least it will be their manager's/shop steward's job to call them back to pick up. I could use a break.

Our kindergarteners should get out there right now and run for president. It might raise the level of GOP debate.

The other day, my 5yo DD let me know she's never going to get a job, ever.
Keep on dreaming, baby!

The children of the middle class with their already fabulous work ethic and superior moral status will not be forced into child labor, but rather will order their lower-class classmates around, allowing these poor children the chance to absorb that working class ethic.

I will open a Persian rug factory--right here, made in the USA!
It is well known that nothing matches a 6-year old girl's tiny, delicate fingers to weave those gorgeous, intricate patterns. Thankfully our birthrates are still decent so there should be plenty of little kids to feed the mill--my understanding is that this kind of work pretty much destroys their health and their eyesight by the time they're tweens.
What is your kid going to do to support your family?
LOL I have always thought furniture assembly. My 4 YO's fingers can really get in there and turn the nuts and bolts.

Actually the quote is odd, because there is nothing that prevents young kids from getting the type of jobs he is talking about. Schools do work/study. They do internships. You can sit. You can be a paper boy. You can start a lawn service. You can work on a farm, with restrictions. In fact most states permit work under the age of 16 if it is during vacation or after school hours.
The only things you can't do really are to take a job instead of school or work in a factory. And there are obvious reasons why those laws exist.
He does a lot of free thinking. He should do research.

I like you.
