Pros And Cons Of Working In High School

In the first place, high school courses are too lenient compared to a college or job. While in high school, it’s easy to breeze through the work without too much struggle or labor.

The result of these actions can cause a difficult transition into the “real-world” where they will be held accountable and expected to finish a job or turn a piece of work in on time. Also, employers will require the job to be done with more than just minimum effort or halfway finished.

Many jobs that one would get right out of high school are usually labor intensive or just not ideal conditions. These jobs include being the grunt worker for a construction company, working on a farm, or being a janitor. These job might not be terrible, but someone who does these would eventually become tired of their working environment. Having a college degree will typically end in having a more enjoyable job. Jobs like teaching, nursing, engineering, and accounting are all professions that require some sort of college degree and are considered nicer jobs with a better work environment. College will help students get a better job, but it will also make that student more prepared for adult

It is important for me to remain patient when caring for the elderly. I have to encourage them to be independent as possible even when it takes extra time. For example, when transporting residents I have to allow them to transport themselves although I could get them where they need to go much quicker. I also deal with people who are not always the friendliest. I have been cussed at and even hit trying to care for elders at the nursing home but I have learned to stay patient during those situations. It is not always easy but when I feel myself getting upset or frustrated I remind myself that these people are dependent on me to take care of them.

In many cultures, getting a job signifies the initial step towards independence from one’s parents. Not only do they represent new found liberty, but they also teach skills needed in the real world.

The importance of learning academic and vocational skills throughout high school is that it creates a basis for every major or job they could want to do, and see non-academic subjects in an intellectual light.

This is because in our society, there is a bias that more academic based jobs are of higher status than vocational jobs.

     We spend four years of our lives attending high school. Going through high school is supposed to prepare us for college and “the real world.” Throughout these four years we begin to better understand our choices for college majors, but we don’t get presented with the financial and time struggle that we will face. College costs money, along with everyday living. When attending college we become more independent and are faced with the problem of coming up with money and finding a balance between time for work and school. Though it may seem like working through high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.”

Time management is a skill that is extremely important to students and people in today?s world because everything is so fast, and compressed; there is a lot to do in a typical day of a student! Employed students must learn how to work while still making time for their studies and other things.

For example, I used to work about 40 hours a week at Tim Horton?s while I was attending Northern full time as a student. Between all this, I was training for boxing, running x-country, maintaining a social life and such but I kept my schoolwork the first priority with my job running in a close second. It was hard to get on track of balancing everything while working eight(plus) hour day shifts but I was able to manage it, and find use for every moment I had awake. I learned a lot from that time in my life and now every day I get I seem to plan out and make sure I have the proper time for everything.
