I know a couple people with teenage kids and they don't put pressure on their kids to get a summer job. My daugter's twelve, and i don't expect to pressure her to get a job in a couple years. I don't see much point-- the jobs she would be after are needed by people with rent to pay. Even when i was in highschool it seemed about 50:50 of kids working over the summer. That was before the current wave of unemployment, before 2008 too.
