“做自己喜欢的事，这样您就永远不会在生活中工作。”这是扎实的（如果相当乐观的）职业建议，但是当一个14岁的孩子给您时，它的命中率与众不同。谁已经有一家蓬勃发展的热狗业务。
青少年企业家梅森·赖特（Mason Wright），梅森的超级狗在佐治亚州的斯托尼克斯特制作头条新闻不仅要在如此年轻的时候为一家抢购热狗餐厅提供帮助，而且实际上在这一餐厅中取得了成功，即使在一场大流行中，这对餐馆行业却是灾难性的。自10月份实体店开业以来，他的200平方英尺店面已经形成了线条。CBS新闻指出，赖特的素食热狗得到了PETA的特别认可。这个孩子甚至还有更多Instagram追随者比你或我希望获得的。而且他仍然是一名全日制学生。
CBS details the wunderkind’s schedule: “Mason arrives at the restaurant around 7 a.m., homeschools for three hours via Zoom, spends one hour setting up the kitchen before doors open at 11 a.m., and keeps up the routine Tuesday through Saturday until the restaurant closes at 6 p.m.” (Were any of us more than half awake at 7 a.m. as teenagers?) It’s the culmination of a business model he has been tinkering with since 2015, when he was inspired by hot dog vendors in New York City, and it’s a goal that his family has supported every step of the way. His parents supplied 20% of the startup costs, his mother helped fill out the paperwork, his father delivers supplies, and his sister shares the lease and helps with day-to-day operations. All of them pitched in to fix up the shop for its grand opening.
梅森的姐姐玛丽·帕特·赫克托（Mary-Pat Hector）告诉亚特兰大NPR本地车站：“他的开车很鼓舞人心。”瓦布。“我可以真正地说梅森是一个有远见的人。我从来没有想到在大流行中开设一家餐厅会对财务负责 - 肯定是一项不错的投资，我很乐意以任何我能做到的方式提供支持。”
最重要的是，热狗听起来不错。梅森个人最喜欢的是火灾风暴，上面放着切碎的鸡肉和水牛酱。我个人对终极狗很感兴趣，终极狗的菜单描述简直就是“一切！”我们在亚特兰大都会区有任何读者可以对梅森的超级狗的卓越表现说话？如果没有，那很好；我敢肯定，当我到佐治亚州时，这个孩子将有几颗米其林星星。
