Balancing
High School and Part-Time Work
Brad McGowan,
of the Career Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that
working can be 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.
McGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through
your assignments … or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time
to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
