Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 3
Brad MacGowan, of the career Center at Newton North Valley
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 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
