A job can do so much for your kid, teach socialization skills, money management (including the value of an earned dollar), and look good on those college apps. If your son or daughter wants to work but just doesn?t know where to begin to look for a job, help them by first looking at their interests. A job that is interesting to anyone is a job that they are going to be more successful at. For instance, if they are interested in sports, maybe a job at a summer sports camp is for them or the local Y.M.C.A. If they like photography perhaps they can work at a local studio.  Just make sure that your child?s job doesn?t interfere with their schoolwork and that they can juggle both successfully.
