My parents had the same mentality, if it was a professional job it was impressive, and then you had their full permission to do it, but if it was a food or retail job that was not acceptable. I didn’t know it at the time, but my dad made mash Allah made good money too so they didn’t feel it was necessary for me either. They are very different now my younger sister was encouraged to work for her own pocket money, (she has a student job at the university she goes to).

Glad to not feel alone now
Even then I wondered…how do you get a professional job without starting somewhere like retail/food? I’m not entirely sure how things were a decade ago but was it really easy to get a good job right out of college with no work experience? At hte least, I figured food/retail jobs get you in the habit of working, managing time and all…but im getting OT.
