Need apply. Of course its only for poor kids, god knows we need to make their lives even more difficult than they already are. I've known quite a few wealthy kids and many poor kids in my time and without a doubt, its the wealthy ones who need the work ethic. Especially now when they see Mommy and Daddy getting anything they want and passing that value along to their children. Just because someone has money, doesn't mean they know what work is.
