I started babysitting for the neighbors when I was 11. At the time, you could be underage and work at a library, and I did that. At 16, I was working in fast food. I didn't want to go straight into college, joined the military instead, went to school while enlisted, and wrung every cent out of the GI Bill. With the exception of one semester, I worked full time and went to school part time. My sister did a little babysitting, but concentrated on school and after school, went to a good liberal arts college, and then a good law school. She worked like a dog for a private law firm initially, then at the DAs office where she was no longer expected to work 100 hours per week. Our little brother, OTOH, has a much different work ethic, but does have a medically-based learning disorder and is mentally ill.
