This summer, every member of my household is employed. First time ever, and it's awesome.
My 19 year old daughter is working in a county summer camp and is getting paid (more than my teacher wife btw) to hang out on rivers, mountain tops, and beaches in the area. Life's tough for her.
My 16 year old son is working with an electrician friend of ours, pulling wires and installing outlets, etc. Some of his time is unpaid, when the friend is bidding a job or whatever, but when they are working, he's getting $25/hr. Freaking awesome for a 16 year old.
I have respect of people working in food service. I've always like to see that on the resumes of entry level applicants. Shows they are willing to work hard. But I can't blame my kids for taking better paying jobs that are more interesting to them.
