I got my first job at 12, when the owner of a welding shop saw me collecting aluminum beer cans on the side of the highway (to sell to a recycler). Went home every night after that with a sooty face after sweeping up welding slag for a few hours, but boy was I proud of the $1.25/hr I was earning.I try to stop whenever I see a kid with a lemonade stand. Well at least when I am with my wife so no one calls the cops on me! I think it is great to promote capitalism.
This day and age, the shop owner would be arrested and made a public spectacle for child endangerment
