My son was determined to get a job this summer--he applied for many things hoping at least one thing would work out. Finally, he ended up landing not one, but two, summer jobs! YAY! He worked weekdays with a landscaping business, and he worked at a restaurant on the weekends. He really enjoyed earning his own money! He framed his first dollar and bought a few things--then he began saving the rest. He had a nice nest-egg by the end of the summer! It really was nice to let him buy his own cell phone minutes and things like that--I LOVE the fact that he is becoming more independent and self-sufficient now! As the summer ended and the school year began, he decided not to juggle work and school since he was taking a full load of classes. I think his first summer of REALLY working and earning a paycheck was a big success! He developed a great work ethic and learned a lot about being in the working world. That will definitely serve him well in the future!
