Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

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 test, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions  students who decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments … or not studying enough for test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

The story behind this title is not right its messed up and inhumane. There is no doubt that the people that kept the girl locked you should be punished for a long time in jail. The reason they locked her up was because at the age of 3 she was showing behavioral problems and the took her to see a professional who said that she was OK, but the grandparents disagreed and kept her locked up until age 9 when she told some one about it.

Like many high school students, you may want – or need – to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on a part time job. It’s important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

Marcus Aurelius
