Working While In High School

Next, teenagers are constantly running here and there, trying to keep up with their schedules. From school, church activities, work, sports, friends, family, and any other sort of time consuming plans, they’re exhausted.

Long hours, no free time, and lots of stress are some reason why lots of high schoolers do not get jobs while in school. However, they only look at the down side of getting a job. There are oodles of great reasons to receive a job while undergoing school. For starters, a student that obtains a job has a chance to obtain work experience that numerous other higher paying jobs and career options are fond of their employee’s having. They will be making money, which all people, especially high school students like to have. Lastly, they will have responsibilities that are more than just going to school. It will give the student a chance to see somewhat of what it is like to live in the real world.

In the American culture is normal for most high school students to have part time jobs. On the other hand, high schoolers are not expected to work. There are many reasons for that, but one of them is that it

     Jobs won’t only support teens for the things they want, but it can help benefit for the things they need. The first things teens think of for their future are going to college and getting their first car. But, let’s say there’s a well educated thirteen-year-old, raised in a low-income family, who has plans on going to college.

Many students including myself work for local businesses in the summer. Us students make up a large amount of these businesses employes. Without high schoolers working the business owners can not make a profit, which essentially causes them to lose money and possibly go bankrupt. High school students being summer workers is not the only

A survey from Citigroup finds that almost eighty percent of high school students take part in a part time job. Students do not have careers in their jobs through high school, but jobs that can keep money in their pockets. The decision is left up to the students if he/she wants to work and attend school simultaneously; the decision should not be left up to the parents/guardians. Although the decision should not be left up to the parents/guardians, getting a job should be encouraged to high school students. Having a job introduces students to the real world and transforms students into responsible young adults. Nothing can teach young adults responsibility and management like the experience of having a job throughout high school. Since I am

Academic obligations are not the only responsibilities for American high school students. One of the responsibilities that many students have is a job. The unemployment rate for teenagers is a mere 9.1 percent. The reasons why students work wildly vary. For some, it’s to earn

Amitai Etzioni argues in his article, “Working at McDonald’s”, fast-food restaurants just as McDonald’s, are not beneficial for teenagers in the long room. They don’t learn the correct skills that they have to in order to achieve in life. Such as skills like “self-reliant, work-ethics-drive, be productive teenagers" or have opportunities for entrepreneurship. The jobs that they are being hired at only consist of a twenty minutes or less training to get the job done. Besides the fact that they are not learning any useful skill, the jobs are taking over their school work. Which causes some teenagers to drop out of school instead. They prefer making money than sitting in a classroom learning about a subject they are not interested in.

Working during college is a big decision for many people. Some people have the ability to take on a bigger task in trying to balance academic success and job experience. I can relate to this issue for much, because I want to succeed in school but I also want to begin building my resume and learning on-the-job experience. I want to become more knowledgeable through the classroom material, but everyone always tells me that the best way to learn is to just go out there and do it. That is the issue for me, trying to make time for both school and work. Personally I need a lot of time to prepare for tests and exams and sometimes it is a struggle for me. I need time to prepare for school, but I still want to go out and learn through the field experience.

      Jobs are very time-consuming. If a teenager works and goes to school, he will probably not have time to join a gang or get into fights. Nowadays more and more employees are getting drug-tested at their jobs. If a teenager likes his job or needs to work, he will not do drugs because he will get fired. Furthermore, if a teenager receives a paycheck he will spend his earned money instead of stealing. A job can lead a teenager to a better lifestyle and a healthier life.

Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get

  Nowadays, students love to have part-time jobs. Their parents approve it easily as they are said to gain experience from working. However, having a job is a big responsibility for a student. Before, teenagers at their age were working to help their family because of poverty. Nevertheless, they were actually eager to study and learn at school for their future. It was not the same as the teenagers nowadays where they are more likely competing to each other to have a job. Most of the

The best benefit from working is to have money, and it also gives you something to occupy your time. This lets them learn the value of the dollar and what it’s worth. They will learn how to get money, and how you have to work for it. They will start “understanding how to be smart about what they spend and knowing that money is earned, not granted.”(Ranae). Teenagers can start appreciating the value of money, and that it isn’t always easy to make a few dollars.
