For my kids it's because they're so busy with school and extracurricular


activities. My oldest (17) drives, but is doing a summer research program in chapel hill this summer, and during the school year, he leaves for school at 7:20AM and gets home between 5:30 and 6:00PM between his sports (cross country / track) and other extracurricular activities. My youngest (15... has learner's permit and will get license in sept when he turns 16), follows the same schedule as my older son since they ride together to school. He is volunteering at the local hospital this summer, but really no time for a paying job, and the lack of driving would put all that responsibility on us. I'd like for them to work because I started working at age 13 (age 11 if you count mowing lawns) and it served me well, but honestly, they just don't have the time.
