But in the few weeks he has been working, I've seen tremendous improvement in his attitude. Sometimes that first paycheck helps in that arena :)
Good luck with him, I'm sure he'll be a fast learner.
The first paycheck definitely helps ... but seeing how quickly it goes helps even more. We made him reimburse us for this uniform cost. He has to reserve 10% of his pay for tithe, 10% for short-term savings, 10% for our inconvenience (he doesn't drive yet), and 20% for long-term savings. The remainder, after taxes and his costs, is his to keep.
Also, after an 8-hour shift of standing on his feet, he is finally beginning to appreciate how his father feels after a hard day's work. Bliss!
