[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 226847, member: 2459"] I had a job at that age but mine was summer only. Actually that how I did it all through high school. Part of that is because we lived way out in the country and my car wasn't the most reliable thing in the world. If you can get him through this school year, that may be something for him to look at. Maybe he could work the concession stand at a local pool or something along that line. My job was detassling corn (hey.....I live in Indiana! LOL) and I did it for four summers. After my first, I was a crew leader so for three years I got to walk behind everyone else, check their work and get them going when they were slacking off. Hmmm..........maybe that was an indicator of things to come? :winking: I'm not sure if they hire kids to do that anymore....someone told me that the company I worked for now hires migrant workers but I don't know how true that is. But, sitting here brainstorming....maybe he could mow lawns in the summer or shovel in the winter for the others on your street. If he's having that much difficulty with his homework and also wants to play basketball, it sounds like a "regular" job would be a bit much for him, even with the benefits of making his own money. Would an afternoon paper route be an option? [/QUOTE]
