Speaking of real money...

Luke just finished his first week as a server at Benihanas... $1300... That tracks to $68K per year... Evidently, that's great for a newbie, but average for their servers.
I wonder why inflation is so bad.

That’s awesome.
I'm not so sure... I'm glad that it puts getting a car in reach and I'm also glad that along with a part-time on-campus job it can basically help him graduate relatively debt-free, but I do worry a bit about unrealistic expectations of the value of money. Dinner and a movie with a date used to cost me about 10 hours of work at that age. For him, it will be about 2 hours...
In addition, I am serious about inflationary concerns, here.

I worked restaurants for quite awhile. It took quite a few years before a 9-to-5 paid me as much. I found it funny at the time, not at all frustrating, because I worked my ass off in those earlier jobs. I definitely worked harder for more money. Those jobs are hard on the body, even for servers.

Emphasize keeping his eyes on the prize, which is graduating debt free. He'll be okay, his mom and dad did a good job.
