Balancing high school and part-time work

                                    Part 3

Brad MacGowan, of the career center at Newtown north high school in Massachusetts, Think that 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 will require 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 test, 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 test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”
