Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“I think it's good for children to learn how to work at a fairly young age, but at the same time, I don't think it's good for them to be working dangerous jobs. And I don't think that they should be working jobs that hinder school.” – Matthew Regusci
“I think that there's a whole lot of people out there right now with a tremendous amount of debt, doing things that aren't even related to the degrees that they got. So, at the age of 18, do you really know what you want to do with your life?” – Francine L Shaw
