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 responsibility. “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 students who decide to work, “If
you are rushing through assignments… or not studying enough for tests because
of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find less time-consuming job.
Choose The Right!!!
