IYO Do you think a HS or College kid's part time job should be fun or something that would give him some work experience into the field they're thinking of pursuing later in life?
I was a carnival barker in HS. Whodathunk?
There's hope!

Worked at an A+ right out of high school then worked for the City as a pool lifeguard. Part time during the year and full time during the summer. Good afternoon job and you can make pretty good money for a part time job.
FCTV808 -My baby bro just got a linguist gig for the Army. I'm hoping good things. He's been giving my 1st Born some advice.
air force: go in guaranteed (if still avail) linguist.

From a guy who spent his 21st Bday in Iraq, he's got lots of advice to give my boy on what direction to take and not take.
Keep all the part time job stories coming. I have a few to contribute soon

I worked at Star Sand beach resort on Guam. Anywhere between 300-500 customers a day, 60% of them women.
I was 17yrs old, and that is where JimmyNaks was born.
A story for another thread
The first job should be long before college and it should be one that teaches them how to bust ass, sweat their balls off, and work their ass off...and like it.
That will set the tone in working hard in whatever field they do later on.
I got run like a slave in my first few jobs and actually learned to appreciate that groove and effort, and to this day I compare everything to that.
