Nowadays, part-time jobs are involving more and more people due to lack of economical stability or just because they need to gain experience or extra money. Some cases in particular involve High School students for practicing or to pay their studies.
Firstly, Working during high school can be a character-building experience for students because it teaches them about responsibility, commitment, initiative, independence and accountability. These character traits are valuable in many areas of life and can even help students who are applying to college, working a summer job can build as much character as more notable academic undertakings, so it's important that students let admissions officers know how the job helped them grow as a person.
Secondly, to successfully hold down a job while in high school, students must have good time management skills and organization. Working allows them to practice multitasking, how to work on a team, communication skills, interview etiquette and how to prioritize tasks. Parents can use this opportunity to teach children how to budget their money, how to avoid debt and the basic rules of income taxes. These skills will be important later on in college and when students enter the workforce as adults.
Thirdly, Of course, it is possible that working students may stretch themselves too thin, and, as a result, grades may suffer. In a study of more than 12,000 students in grades eight through 12, researchers Herbert Marsh and Sabina Kleitman found that as students work more hours, their grades decline. They are also more likely to have lower academic and career goals, including being less likely to attend college, than their nonworking counterparts. The research found this to be true for all students, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic group or academic ability.
To sum up, part-time jobs can be helpful to build some character, to gaun experience, management skills and organization and many other good thigs. Nevertheless, they have to be careful about the management of school with the job.
