I took my first job the summer after I turned 15 (Late 90's, 15 yr old could still get a driver license in my state) as a floorsweep in an un-airconditioned warehouse. Worked every summer since then and some during the school year. I think it did me a world of good, and my kids are going to get a job as soon as they are able (hopefully the driving age won't be raised to 18 by then! ;). Some of my college acquaintances have never worked a day in their life, and I really think its going to bite them in their behinds when they try to get a 'real' job.

I'm sure you're right.
