Swapping Summer Jobs for Teens

By on July 8, 2004 in Ideas

Ben Casnocha: “Most [teens] end up working for their parents (you know, file papers, answer the phone, etc). But the thing is no parent really wants to hire their kid because they want young Johnny to get the experience of working for someone else in an environment that more accurately mirrors, well, real work. Why isn’t there a database of parents and their kids so people can swap? I.e. I’ll hire your kid if you hire mine.”

    Hmm.. Sounds interesting, even me don’t want to work with my parents, i like to be expose from outside or in their friends company rather, cause it’s really makes you independent and strive hard to make your own moves on the job you are in.
