Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 3
Brad MacGowan, of the
Career Center at Newtown 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 supervisors 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 first priority. MacGowman cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments . . . or not studying enough for a test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”
