I wouldn't want my child to be running a fastfood register, just because they'd be the frontline employee...that seems kinda fucked up to have a child dealing with the public.

But I definitely think it's cool for a kid to have a part time job. The earlier they can learn responsibilities the better.

I don’t see why we would change labor laws like they are now. I don’t think a child working in a meat processing plant will be any more successful than one running a cash register or stocking shelves.

I don't either unless they think they can get them started working before the laziness kicks in.

Probably too late for that already.

This is anecdotal at best, but I worked in a meat processing facility that slaughtered and processed 1,200 cattle per day when I was 14. It was only a summer gig, but it was pretty awesome and showed me that I needed to do something better with my life than work long hours for little money.

I saw a lot of stuff that still blows my mind today. The coolest thing I ever saw was a bull get shot in the head, drop to the floor, the hooked a chain around it leg, then it proceed to get up and walk around like nothing happened.

Pretty cool.

I worked for my dad sweeping up the machine shop steel chips when I was 14. Helps build some work ethic. Probably ran the presses a little but I didn't really run the machines regularly until I was a bit older.

Of course then I went to college and said, I can't do boring tasks like that for the rest of my life.

I didn’t do anything of substance really at that plant. Swept the break room, stocked soap and paper towels, tested hydraulic equipment. One day I spent 8 hours raising and lifting a hydraulic platform that had just been installed. I guess they needed it broke in or some shit. Very boring day. I had to be on it while it was operating. Up. Down. Up. Down. All fricken day.

I hauled hay for 3 summers when I was 12-15. Hardest job I have ever had, but it brought me some money and taught me hard work.
