<p>I'm always amazed at the number of companies or organizations looking for students to do part-time work about 60% higher than minimum wage. Today I saw a post for a website designer for 20 hours a week at $15/hour. I had a look at the website and the work looks pretty simple. I asked my daughter (CC poster too) what she thought and she thought that she could do it. I don't know if she could legally work that many hours as she is a minor.</p>
<p>Our son showed me a piece of paper that he got from the manager of the tutoring center where he works. It's math programming for an industrial products company to basically do a contract for a program that takes inputs and writes outputs after a filtering process. I suggested that he talk to his manager about the work as it might be interesting to do and it would look great on his resume. He's more or less cruising this semester and seems to be fairly unstressed. He's already working 7.5 hours a week but might be able to handle this. He could always sub part of it out to his sister.</p>
<p>Any experiences with your kids doing this sort of thing during the semester and how has it worked out?</p>
