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!
