Is making your child work during college counter-productive?

As others have said, I wouldn’t require paid positions because being able to volunteer (i.e. work for free) absolutely opens doors that one might not otherwise have

Note that this effectively means that such doors are much more available for the kids of high SES families who can support their unpaid internships or volunteer work, compared to kids of low SES families who cannot.
