Balancing high school and part-time work

Part 3

Brad macgowan, of the career at newton north high school in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a student’s life, if taken on responsibly. “You can derive a great deal from working considerably more than just money, “he says.

“In most cases, you can acquire 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 final a less time-consuming job.”
