It seems like a great idea: your high school student spending a few hours a night at the local grocery store making a few extra bucks. In many ways, it is a win-win situation. They can use the money to help you pay for their college, or to pay for their own gas.

We alwasy worked in my family....as soon as we turned 16. The kicker was that we didn't get to keep out whole paycheck! We had to contribute to our college fund! I don't ever remember not having pizza or movie money but there were no free rides in my house. It seems different now. I see so many kids not working, living at home, and well...being lazy. Not to take away from the hard workers out there, but it no longer seems to be the norm. Sad.

I did want to comment on one thing, Janice, there is no shame in being a gas pumper. My father was a serviceman for 50 years plus and raised a family and put two kids through college. While I think setting goals is important let's no jumpt to which goals are for whom and which ones are best. Supporting a family is, in my book, a terrific goal and one that should not be scoffed at. By anyone.
I am also an educator and would never presume to set goals for anyone, against my personal compass or yardstick.

Hear, hear. If it makes you happy and you're content with your life, then all's good. Life is an education in and of itself and not everything learned in school is useful. I can tell you one thing, no one's asked me about the Pythagoras theorem in over thirty years! (but I can still repeat it LOL) :)

I have to greatly disagree with this artical for one main reason. the whole spending money on crap part. i mean were teenagers! i have a job and im saveing up for a mac for school! also all my money is going towards gas and collage because my parents cant afford to pay for 8-10 years of schooling to get my Phd which is what i want to do with my life in addition to my two other sisters collage loans.instead we should be wonder why we need premission from our school and the state to work. and honestly who are they kidding when they say were spending our study time at work. yeah i get all of my :"studying" done in 45 mins or less, unless i have an essay.

Honestly who wouldnt want to make more money and be that much more independent? The only time you should be solely dependent on someone else is during your first stages and last stages of life. Im a high school sophmore and i just landed a job to help out my mom and save up. I have a car thats paid for so i will save as much as i can.
