Inspiring piece. The right idea, that’s interesting to children, would surely get a lot of parental support. Although, I don’t know if a computer related job would be best since many parents would like to see their kids spend less time with electronics. With that said, if an internet job edged out video game time then that would be well regarded.

I love this one, considering my time spent with newspapers. Child labor laws did do a doozy on paperboys, plus a large increase in the amount of scams, perverts, and other signs of social degredation didn’t help.

I’m pretty sure you can also add Ross Perot and Puff Daddy to that list as well.

One anecdote for collecting receivables that worked well- if you keep chasing down a deadbeat, take their gardenhose, snowshovel, or some other piece of insignificant but inconvenient to not have equipment and hold for ransom. (i.e. PG&E will make it difficult to cook your Mac & Cheese on the stove if you didn’t pay your gas bill)
