That said, does your daughter frequently talk with her friends about her financial plans and goals? Because if I knew my friend was trying to get all of the work that she could, and had confided in me, then I would feel so easy about her having to cancel plans to take a job. I'd be like "go girl!"
When I was a teen, we all talked about jobs and money and such. It was a hot topic. Is it still that way?

For my dc, yes. Especially because most are really busy teens who don't have a ton of time for working. Right now, kids are all thinking abt summer plans (either saving or trying to consider if they have time for jobs).
