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 tests,
should always be your priority. MacGowan cautious 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, quit, and find a less
time-consuming job.”
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
