Can students balance school and a part time job?
April 10, 2018
A lot of students in high school have part-time jobs so they could have their own money. For the most part, I believe that getting a job is a positive thing for most students. It can show you so many things that you will definitely need to know in the future such as time or money management, and early work experience. All of these are great reasons for students to get jobs in high school but, there could be some consequences that are not that beneficial. High school tends to be stressful already for a lot of students. A job justs add another responsibility on top of your classwork which could end up being a distraction causing your grades to drop. Of course there are going to be pros and cons of getting a part-time job, but in my opinion, if you are able to handle getting a job and still keeping up with your school work, getting a job would be a good thing for a lot of people.
