Anyone have kids who work AND do the year-round baseball, attend showcases, fill out profiles, etc.??
We feel like taking baseball to the next level is like a full time job and have some regrets that son hasn't had time in the summers to also have a job.
Don't get me wrong: our kids all work very hard to make it onto a college team or to be selected in the draft, but I sure wish he had some pocket change besides what he gets for birthdays and graduation.
He's been able to do some occasional work for my husband, who is a Land Surveyor, but with the kind of practice, game, and travel schedule kids often have, it's really almost impossible to have a paying job. We actually live two hours away from his fall ball and summer league teams, so maybe it's not that crazy if you live in the same town where you play, but ...
Just wondering what everyone else has experienced?
