All my kids were raised to get jobs when they were growing up. It wasn't to put "them to work" but to foster a work ethic. It also showed them the value of money.
You wouldn't believe the tips my daughter got during her paper run, especially easter, xmas, and her birthday.
I'm not implying it's wrong even if you do raise your kids to work your farm or whatever. That's the traditional way. Most of us aren't farmers any more, so we have to teach them somehow.
