Brad MacGowan, of the Career
Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be
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 skills should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to
work, “If you are rushing through your assignments . . . or no studying enough
for test because of work, its time to cut back or quit and find a less-timing
consuming job.”
