>> But, unlike tejek, you had enough ambition to work your way out of the low paying jobs as I did. When I was a kid my dad owned a few fast food & BBQ restaurants. At one of those worked a teenaged girl -- from the time she was about 14 until she was 19. Minimum wage, but excellent employee, motivated, highly responsible, and trusted. I recently had a conversation with her. She is now a property manager for a large hotel chain. She told me she had gotten married about the time I last saw her, moved to Seattle with her husband, and has lived in the Pac NW ever since, and has become highly successful in spite of not having a college education. She made the comment to me that working for my dad was the best work experience she had ever had, that it had done more to prepare her for the jobs she would hold later on than anything else she had done. I've encountered several of these employees over the last few years and more than one have made comments like this. They realize today how important that menial work in their high school years was. It is tragic that so few kids get that now.
