My kid would like to get a minimum wage job. The problem is that there
aren't any available in our area.

Bull****. There wasn't many in my area as a kid and I made my own at
11. After that I rarely worked part time for a wage. Mom with 4 kids
and delinquent dad, we needed to innovate or do without. On the way to
school (no bus) I even delivered morning papers.

I sent out fliers of my own making for snow removal, lawn cutting, and
once of legal age even baby sitting. In the summer I would routinely
clock out $50/week, circa late 60's and early-mid 70's that was big
bucks for a kid. Paid for the lawn mower and gas too.

That taught me how to manage money well from 11-16 an was better than
many 40 year olds today.

Fact is people today are soft and lazy.

Mind you, some liberal looser ass hole would call that invaluable lesson
child exploitation today. Rather see the kids hang out at the mall
looking for people dropping money.

Wow! A self made man at 11 years old. Did you own a zimmermanlike
lobster boat, too?

Lot's of us started helping the family finances before we got out of
school Harry. Just because you sat on your ass playing footsie while
your pood daddy worked his ass off in the yard doesn't mean everybody did...
