Both my kids worked. My older son got a job washing dishes when he was in Grade 8 and a couple of years later, got a job in a pizza parlour. Being in that environment he ended up wanting to be a chef, surprisingly. The hours are terrible, the pay is not good! He's always worked at least two jobs at the same time, sometimes three.
My second started later with having a job, around 17, first as a lifeguard, then continued for a few years as a clerk at two different grocery stores at the same time.
I worked all through high school.
