Did You Do Chores As A Child?

Did You Do Chores As A Child?

A recent Harvard study found a connection between high achieving individuals and being made to do household chores as children. The study discovered that these individuals tend to grow up to have a better work ethic, be more empathetic, and even more sociable. So we ask our listeners: Did you grow up doing household chores? And has it shaped you and your work ethic as an adult?
