So, how important do you think a job is?

My two older kids had jobs as soon as they could legally work. My younger child won’t have time for a traditional with her academic/sports schedule, because of the level of competition. She has been able to fit in some tutoring and babysitting, but she won’t end up with the same economic resources that her older sibs had.

I think it is healthy for kids to learn and to understand that money doesn’t grow on trees, and that they have to earn money to survive. They have been much more grateful for those things that they have, especially after they realize how much time it takes to earn the money, and how little time it takes to spend it.
