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 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 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.”
