If they work 3 shifts a week, that’s $75. Not something to sneeze at. Back in my day, we made $3.05 an hour. It teaches kids the value of a dollar if they have to work for it!

That sounds like heaven to me! I used to work all day in the South Carolina sun in mid-summer for 3 or 4 dollars a DAY! That was when I could get a day working for someone who would pay! I spent most days working on the family farm to survive, no cash involved. Of course 3 dollars back then bought more than 30 dollars now.
