Kids should have jobs in high school. It's a fantastic way to learn budgeting, work ethic, entrepreneurship, and gives them a drive to study harder.

For kids without two stable parents, it soaks up their time and keeps them out of trouble.

Since when did we start viewing this as bad?

I worked at 14 doing lawn work for neighbors to save money for video games. It taught me a lot. There's nothing wrong with that.
