… it’s a great way to fund a Roth IRA and get a couple of extra decades of compounded investment returns, plus the job comes with outstanding dental coverage. They’ll also let you “work from home”.

I wish I had this kind of opportunity when I was a youngster.

When my first granddaughter was 6 months old, I could see her being the next Gerber Baby - looked just like him/her. Of course, you outgrow that role really fast when solid food becomes your mainstay. And then later I thought she would be a good E\*Trade baby; the kid they had then was 1-2 years old.

Of course, those are really short careers; worse than gymnastics, even. But I always wondered how much those kids made. Hopefully their parents put it in a 529 plan, or at least a Roth IRA.
