Balancing
high school and part-time work
Part 3
Brad McGowan, of the career center at newton north high
school in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of 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. McGowan cautions students who do 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.”
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
