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 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!!!
