    I believe that it is a good thing that students are working while in school but I do not think it is a good thing that most places work them 30+ hours a week. Etzioni said himself and I quote, these types of jobs “undermine school attendance and involvement”. This is true. I can agree with this statement. I have worked all through high school and there have been times where I have had to work 40+ hours a week. Etzioni also said, working at McDonald’s or other fast-food establishment’s “imparts few
