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 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 quiet
and find a less time-consuming job.”
Choose the Right!!
