Balancing High School and Part-time
Part 3
Brad McGowan, of the Career Center at New town North High
School in Massachusetts, thinks what working can be a valuable part of a student’s
life if taken on responsibility. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably
more than just money,’’ he says. “In most cases, you can acquire a nice does 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 test, should
always be your top priority. McGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If
you are rushing through your assignments . . . or not studying enough for test because of
work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job .”
