Balancing High School and a Part Time Occupation (Part 3)

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 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 test, should always be your top priority. MacGowan 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.”

Balancing High School And Part-Time Work (Part 1)

Like many high school students, you may want- or need—to work part time. working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations: You have to weigh a number of factor’s when deciding whether to take on a part-time job. It is important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you. Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is true that if you are doing something wrong, or about to, DON'T DO IT!!!
