With summer in full swing now, the topic always comes up....should you allow your child to work during the summer, or should you restrict them to doing educational things? What are your thoughts?

I know when I was in high school, during summers I never really worked the typical summer highschool job at McDonalds. I always tried to work in something medical related or in a summer internship. Needless to say, they helped me get in medical school later.
