<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 1610948, member: 15488"]Kudos to you and your wife. One of the things lacking today is good old fashion "work ethic". My parents insisted that my brothers and I "work" during summer break. I spent 2 summers working as a volunteer candy striper at a local hospital and 2 summers working as a volunteer teachers aide at Head Start. I didn't make any money but boy did it ever prepare me for the real world of working for a living. Now this was in the 1960's when it was "easy" to find a job, and 10 times easier to lose a job. Back then you could and would be fired for being 5 min. late for work. No such thing as HR to save your butt. You either did your job or 10 people were waiting in line to do it." Yes Sir/Mam", was the correct response to a request from your supervisor, not "when is my break". I have hired many people wanting a "job", only to find out they didn't want to "work".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
