balancing high school and part-time work part 3



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!!
