No, you don't.

It is at least one reason why I oppose the minimum wage. Kids need to work as it helps keep them from growing up lazy. For me it was very motivational; I knew damned well I didn't want to spend my life doing the kind of work my dad did. Nothing wrong with it but the work is hard and stressful and dirty and not much fun.

Before he sold the family business to my brother he asked me if I wanted a piece of it. I told him, "Dad, I've breaded enough onion rings for a lifetime."

My daughter was always a hard worker from the time she was in junior high. My son, OTOH, didn't learn what work was until he went in the military; I think that was an eye-opener...
