My DS aged 13 has a real interest in computers.
I asked an acquaintance who owns the local computer shop, if he had any jobs for my son as he was so keen to learn about the workings of computers. I didn't expect him to say yes as DS is quite young and a little bit shy too. However, much to DS delight he said yes. He works for around 1.5 hours after school one night a week.
Now DS is getting experience of computers and life experience and I know that is a valuable commodity especially at such a young age. I also realise that they are probably "finding him things to do" and he isn't exactly self sufficient in managing his own work load. lol. I also realise that it's not much time per week and chances are he wouldn't be doing anything else much with that time.
He has been doing this for nearly three months and no sign of any payment at all.
Am I being unreasonable to think they should offer him something, even just a fiver a month?
