Anecdote time. For two summers while in high school, I joined the Youth Conservation Corps, basically living away from home the whole time working in the fields and national parks. I was like 14 and 15. Great times. Got paid working while in camp for two summers. Yeah my parents worried but they let me go anyway. Young people can do a lot of things if you let them.
