[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 734480, member: 4152"] I was just extremely lucky. But this was ages ago. When our son was in college he got a summer job that turned into a regular job. When college classes started, even though he was a top notch employee that had won awards at work etc. ...there just wasn’t a good way for him to go PT. PT was 35 hours a week. That’s absurd. He did that his first semester and did terribly at school. One day a repeat customer noticed how hard he was working and offered him a job. He said no at first. Then the customer cane back later and said I’ll more than double your salary and you can work ten hours a week so that you can attend class and do well. Son quit immediately and did phenomenally well. He made great money and was on the honor roll at College. by the way, he had a Difficult Child year in 11th grade. It all changed incredibly. :) A success story for sure. A lot of credit goes to those jobs...particularly that one for ten hours a week. [/QUOTE]
