re: Do you make your college aged kids get a job if they come home for summer?

Definitely wasn't going to pay for school working 20hrs a week @ $10/hr at internship.

It's ok though because I did both. Anyone who says you can't just doesn't have the drive to do so.

Same. I worked 2 internships in my field at LSU (not at the same time) making $10/hour. That's not shite. So after I got experience there, I went on to wait tables and bartend.

I'd have never been able to have the lifestyle I prefer had I not worked for actual money throughout college. Also - as great as my internships looked on my resume, the service industry jobs are how I made the connections to land my first post-collegiate job.

Service industry also gave me a work ethic I don't often see matched.
