Staying busy might be the hardest job

Do you have a teenager that got a job for the summer?

Don't get me wrong help2058031199_c271d2213e_m.jpg - every kid is entitled to his or her summer fun and some down time.

But kids that are 16 years old to 18 years old are probably anxious for some work experience, extra money and independence.

In this tough economy - those traditional teen jobs aren't coming easily. One of my son's friends applied to several places that aren't hiring.

Did your teenager line up volunteer work or extra chores instead?

If not, what is he or she doing?
