My fears about child labor is that is would start out with good intentions of teaching a strong work ethic, but end up with children not being protected against low wages, long hours and only the most menial of jobs. The conversation seems to be around agriculture and janitorial. These young kids are better suited to programming and anything electronic.
What happened to yard work for neighbors, babysitting, cleaning houses, or being a "mother's helper" for the lady down the street. I did all of these as young as 10. My brother, Larry Miller (now passed away, but owner of the Utah Jazz) started his career as a paper boy. He made me accompany him through the snow to both deliver papers and collect the money.
