I’d say anyone above age 15 or 16 who needs “help” getting a job from parents isn’t fit to have a job. (I mean beyond getting a contact name or something.)

I had a retail business in the 80's. I wouldn't hire someone who's parent came in asking. If the kid didn't have the drive or guts to ask for themself, too friggin' bad.

Bill Gates' mother set up the meeting with IBM, where his father drew up the deal that made him rich. In fact I'm not even sure where Gates got the $50,000 he needed to license QDOS from the programmers who made it.
