Kids, You Don't Have to Go to College

Preparing Your Teen for His First Job
When our oldest turned 13, I suggested he volunteer at the public library. When he turned 14, he applied to a teen volunteer program at a local living history museum working as a blacksmith's apprentice. Although both jobs were volunteer positions, when he later applied for his first paying job dipping ice cream, he had something to include on a resume and job application.
