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!!
