Yes. Most of us had holiday jobs through our high school years, usually mundane and low skilled, but formed a useful part of our education. I've been a shop assistant, a tea lady and a clerk. Many of my friends from university worked on the gut board at the freezing works (some of them acquired doctorates, some became eminent barristers). I totally respect anyone who learned how to keep a job when a teenager.
