As if teenagers need money. I never worked when I was in high school, nor should any teenager. i focused on studying and got a full scholarship after high school and now i'm in med school. Seriously i'd tell these teenagers to focus more on studying, instead of getting an 8$/hours job to pay for their cell phones and beer... STAR_AdmiralHighly unlikely hypothetical situation, but you may one day find yourself in a position where a residency program director will look at your application with the 90th percentile USMLE scores, another application of someone with 89th percentile scores plus a somewhat consistent summer work history from highschool all the way through college and med school, and they will have to choose only one for their program. Assuming they were never fired or anything, the one with the work history might look like a better candidate. I do know a guy who got into a good program because he mentioned in the interview that he used to do construction work. The 70% that aren't working probably may need to try searching harder, giving up the "working for the money" mindset to do volunteer work, or as mentioned use that time studying. But heck this is a gamer website.

You've got to be kidding me.
One of the best lessons my dad taught me was financial responsibility. He signed for the loan on my first car, but it was up to me to make the payments.
I worked my ass off, but I enjoyed it. The car was mine.
