When I was a child I lived with my mother and my grandmother, neither of them would let me do any work... they wanted me to study and only that... well I went to painting too but despite that I did work inside the house even if it wasn't paid and I helped my brother who was 5 years younger than me at school.
My first paid job was to write texts on typewriters, to pass on other people's work that they brought me and I would pass them on and then I started to give private classes for adults who hadn't finished secondary school, people who were already retired and wanted to do secondary school, I would go to their houses and help them with their subjects.
Beyond the work and the pay, I learned a lot from those people and I still carry them in my heart, even though they are no longer in this world.

I never really understand why a parent would want to limit their child's progression by making them study and not experience other things like a part time job a few hours a week - it seems rather limiting. It's pretty clear that study along doesn't round out a person's skills or progression. Still, it's up to the parents I guess, and the individual.
I feel the same way but I understand the way my mother and grandmother were raised... women were for the house.... then I came out as a rebel hahahaha
You learn in life, my grandmother was very good but very dominant. Life stories.
