Of people I know who are successful in life there is a
corollary. The younger a person begins working for money, the more
successful they become in life. A child
working in his or her families restaurant, farm, store or even chores
will create the equation that work equals money. That is a lifelong
impression and that takes away all ideas of money for nothing and chicks
for free. Show me a kid making real money at 13 and one who doesn't
begin earning real money at 18 and fast forward 30 years and it's not
hard to build the case that a young man or woman earning money earlier
will be more successful in life's economy. I wonder sometimes if there
isn't almost a strategy to keep kids from working to create a dependency
class. I worry about mandatory education and the push for higher
education. Not that I am against such, but not everyone can or should go
to college. Some should work. Or learn to work. 16 or 18 might be
too late.
