Working It (2-23-2009)

I stopped to watch as a young man was entertaining bystanders in the electronics store with an all-out musical performance on the game, guitar hero.

The young man’s bewildered mother commented to me, “This is the only thing he’s done since he graduated from college. He’s 23, but he’s had a hard time finding job…I wish he could get paid for playing video games.”

I learned that he never held a job in his life. If it had been a few years earlier, I would have recommended to his mother that she get him a job as soon as he became a teenager.

The point is, immature teens can all too easily turn into immature adults. So, start early to help your teen learn how to support himself.
