Jobs for teens

I usually blog about sales realted matters but i wanted to swich gears and tlak about something that is affecting my family.  I have 2 teens who have been trying to find a job but keep getting beat out to older unemployed workers.  I suugested to them that they think outside of the box and they have.  My son has started to make money online by filling out resumes and writing articles for webmaster who need content.  My daughter has been looking for a lifeguard job for the summer and she stummbled upon a cool teen jobs website that already started advertising summer jobs for 2009.  I am trying to convince them to go into sales like their old man, but they are not biting.  They say this will be the worst summer for teen employment ever and I think this will have a negative impact down the road as these teens will not have the skills to compete in the future.  I remember when I was a teen I was selling everything, newspapers, magazine subscritions, ad sales.  I am afraid that the current teens will be missing out on this.
