Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 3
Brad Macgown, 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.”
