I did not get my first real job until the end of my junior year of high school. Before that, I had babysat and cleaned house for a few family members and some of my parents friends. I babysat for my aunt Stephanie, my cousins friend Krystal, and my own parents. I never got paid much but at the time it was enough. When I got my license and my first car, I started needing more money than I was getting. My grandpa Clete asked if I would clean his house for him. He said that he would give me $100, and that he would pay me biweekly. It was a great way for me to make money, and I only had to clean his house once or twice a week. It usually took me about two or three hours to do everything that he wanted me to do. Eventually, I started looking …show more content…
They usually want to make money to either support their families or to have their own spending money for leisure and personal activities. I personally need to make money to pay for my own things. I pay my phone bill and my car insurance, and the rest of my money is spending money for whatever I want. I am starting to work on saving my money now. Imagine how much money a teenager would have for college if they saved all of their money from their part time job (hypothetical). Obviously, most of us do not make very much. Saving money adds up really quickly sometimes, depending on how much you work. Saving money is a really important skill to develop during high school. If you learn to save your money early, then you will hopefully be more likely to save your money during your college and adult years. It also teaches kids how to budget. If they have stuff that they need to pay for, like bills, then they should avoid spending that money. Also, they would be less likely to spend their own money erratically, because they actually had to work for it. It is nothing like getting money handed to you from your parents. Having a job teaches time management. You have to be on time for your job or you can get in trouble with your boss. You also have to make time for more important work that may not be fun, like your school work. You should have your priorities in check; you could end up failing at something that is actually
They have to have their most expensive watch, or the most expensive cloths. How do they get those items, by paying for it with money? Teenagers are most likely the worst type people at managing money. That is why they should work a job, because at first when they have money, they will go all willy, nilly spending money like it grows on trees. However, later after they get a job they will realize that they need to save money for the things they want later down the road and not spend all of the money they make right when they make it. Too often in the world, we have adults spending their paycheck on material objects such as vehicles, entertainment systems, the biggest and best TV`s, smarter than smart, smart phones, all things that are not necessary in life. They do not save money, or put it aside for the things that matter such as bills, schooling, and food. That is why high school students need jobs, so they can learn to manage their money before it is too
One of the first jobs I ever got when I was younger was being a cashier at a Save- a Lot grocery store. I was 15 years old and I absolutely loved that job.
Macan et al. (1990) [1] done a study on 165 students to find out the effects of time management on students’ stress, self perception of performance and Grade Point Average (GPA). Their study revealed major findings. One of the most predictive independent factors of Time Management Behaviour scale was perceived control of time [1]. Students reported significantly higher evaluations of their performance, much work and life satisfaction, least role ambiguity, least role overload and fewer job caused tensions, who perceived control of their time [1].
Once we reach adolescence, money decides what our lives will becomes in adult hood, especially if one wishes to live an adequate life. For example, in the novel The Glass Castle Jeannette and her siblings, Bryan and Lori, choose to begin saving money to be able to leave home, attend college, and have good living conditions. Consequently, Jeannette and Lori began to work, Bryan, at times, would sell cans,
As an individual we all have to have a better concept with time management, and how well we use it within our working lives. It is therefore very important that I try to keep to it within my working practise and look towards Maslow’s theory. Which focuses on the way that we understand our needs and differentiating them and setting time limits, on getting everything done. So that we do not enforce on after essential areas of your
I began working at the age of eight years old at the restaurant. For me it was exciting, I wasn’t doing anything that I did not do at home, but I was making money. For an eight year old it was like allowance but it was much more than any of my friends. My dad admired the fact that I always worked extra hard, but little did he know that I saw what happened to my older sibling who were trying to live a normal teenage life, and being shunned for not wanting to give their all to his dream. I was eight years old, I really did not have a choice. By the time I was ten years old, the restaurant had been going pretty well, so dad decided to open a candy store next door to the restaurant for guess who to manage, yes me. I was his pride and joy and he knew that with my hard work that I would be a success. Of course at ten years old, I was completely excited for the opportunity. Little did I know that the people that I would be managing would be my older siblings who were not to excited about having to answer to a ten year old.
Managing your time takes a lot of weight off your shoulders and can make you feel very relieved. Time management relieves stress, anxiety, and procrastination. If you manage your time the correct way and do your stuff ahead of time, you won't be able to procrastinate because you already have all of your work done.Time management is the best thing you can do for yourself and your
It is very important that I use my time wisely and do not wait until the last minute to have my assignments completed. While I have job, my main priority is to finish school. Cutting my work hours, so I will have more time to focus on my school work, is just a minor thing that will ultimately pay off. I am, however, a huge procrastinator and therefore will have to work hard to keep my priorities well in mind
Many adults and teenagers living in the present day still do not know why saving money is important. As much as we all hope emergencies won’t happen, the truth is we all know that sometimes they are unavoidable. If you do not have a safety net to lean on when these problems arise they can rapidly turn into additional debt and loans. Setting a little money aside will assist you when these life emergencies arise. Saving money also helps people achieve and aspire to their personal, social, political, and environmental goals. Once you have enough money saved you can become financially independent and able to make your own choices about how to spend your money. Additionally, saving money gives you peace and satisfaction. Knowing that you have your finances in control feels commendable. Not having to worry about sudden emergencies or costly repairs lowers your stress levels. Saving money helps in sudden emergencies, assists
Prior to that, me and my brother had a rough life. We were in foster care for 2-3 years before my grandma (passed in 2011) and granpda (recently passed in February) took me and my brother in and they made sure me or my brother only had to worry about school and I will forever be grateful for that but I always felt sort of like a black sheep because most of my friends had jobs and were buying their own things. Meanwhile, I had to ask my grandpa for money and I hate asking anyone for anything so it was sort of tough for me but he never really had a problem with it as long as my grades kept up. I worked briefly with my father in roofing here and there but it was never consistent and roofing ... man it is a tough job especially on your body in the long
As parents, the education of our children is one of our most important goals. Education not only teaches children how to earn a living one day, but also how to get about in society. Unfortunately, there’s one gaping learning hole in that education process: money. Very little of the time that kids spend in school - at any level - will teach them how to deal with money. The bottom line is that if you don’t teach your kids about money, no one will.
Job shadowing is a great learning experience for people that are mostly in the grade 10 phase because it helps you make your mind up about which career field you want to go into when you are older.
Poor time management affects every area of a person’s life, especially a college student. Time management has always been very challenging for me. Setting aside time to study can be tough when I have a busy schedule. Most nights, my schedule consists of doing laundry, washing dishes, and completing other simple house duties. I try to sit down and focus on homework but those chores that need to be done are in the back of my mind. I have two dogs that are also quite the responsibility. One major responsibility with my dogs is having to take them outside. I live in an apartment, so I have to walk them down stairs instead of being able to just let them out the back door. Another problem is that I work until nine on some nights, so when I finally get home from work, I am too tired to
On April 1st, I spent the day job shadowing Mrs. Carmen Carroll at CEVA Logistics. I was the only student working with her that day, but it gave me a much more personal experience. CEVA is a company that contracts logistics and freight management solutions provider worldwide. I spent the day closely following Mrs. Carmen Carroll while she worked in her role in the company.
