- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoTell that to my 16 year-old. He's bored sitting around the house and actively sought out a job. Now he gets to hang out with people he likes and is paid for it. Opportunity cost $0
- almost_usual 9y agoOne summer as a teen I worked a maintenance job at a family owned warehouse. It involved pouring asphalt, shoveling gravel, and cleaning warehouse walls. This was in Southern Illinois mind you so it was blazing hot and humid everyday. The dust from the warehouse walls would aggravate my allergies and send me off on sneezing fits. I hated every second of it. This work made me appreciate how important it was to go to college do well in school. It also made me appreciate the "hard work" people do that goes unnoticed. My longest "hardest" days as a Software Engineer in SF do not compare to that maintenance job. I did not gain much financially but I did learn a lot about endurance.
