Well I know it's dependent on the type of job and etc. But how 'bout we start with someone who's actually willing to work.

We were not perfect parents but one of the best things we did for our kids was insist they get jobs when they had the privilege of driving. And not just babysitting or mowing lawns either, but jobs were they were required to file taxes. We did not tell them anything remarkable when they entered these jobs...or we didn't think so. We just told them from the minute they clocked in 'til the minute they clocked out, their time belonged to their employer. And that having a headache or a hangnail was no reason to call in sick.
