Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 5311300, member: 1646"] Cashier at Bradlees. Not fun. Then camp counselor for a bunch of years. Job was okay, but after hours were a blast. This actually triggers something I've been wondering about. Both my kids work. My son was a counselor and then cashier. Daughter has worked at a local shop during school and summer. But many of their friends from high school and now college don't work and never have. Some have bogus "internships" with a parent, others take a class/session at a fancy location. But some just sit on their butts or travel all summer. Is this just because I live in a wealthier town than I grew up in, or do kids not get part time and summer jobs anymore? [/QUOTE]
