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 top priority. MacGowan 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!!!
