I’ll require my kids to work. Not as much as I did but work nonetheless. It teaches good skills and gives you a starting point when it comes to applying for other jobs.
When I hire people, I screen out all the ones who have never had a job before. I have enough applicants that I can do that and I don’t really have the time nor patience to be someone’s first job. I had too many first time job people the first summer I ran the project and they all basically decided they could come and leave as they pleased.
