Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High
School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a
student’s life, if taken on responsibly. “You can derive a great deal from
working, considerably more than just money,” he says. “In most cases, you can
acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences.”
In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college
recommendation for you.
School Comes First
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should
always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions student who do decide to work, “If
you are rushing through your assignments … or not studying enough for the test
because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming
job.”
CHOOSE
THE RIGHT!!!
