joe, this really doesn’t matter to a 6th or 7th grader, or even to a high school student. None of this really matters until a student is a junior in college and needs career-oriented contacts and references for internships and work. This is the time where having “good contacts” and “who you know” matters. Jobs held by HS students are typically minimum-wage jobs or these students are hired by parents or the parent’s friends/relatives for summer jobs, etc.
