They were certainly well paid and I’ll assume supervised. That’s a lot different from what these kids were doing.
Yes, they were supervised. Back when the older grandkids did it, the pay was 100 per day, but recently, my granddaughters are making 150. They love the chance to earn some spending money!
The company I worked for hired teenagers to come in on Saturday and wash trucks. All 5 of my grandkids did it, and LOVED making 150 bucks for 8 hours' work, plus, they were taken to a restaurant for lunch!
