Part Time Job as a Student

High School Students having a part time job
Many students have part time jobs while currently attending high school. This could be a benefit to those students who seek responsibilty and respect from parents that the child of theirs have matured and willing to take more work in life. Learning to have time management skills is an essential part of life. A skill that will determine how much time a student will have for school and for he's or her own extracurricular activities. Students should plan to fit everything in a schedule that requires less stress in achieving.

First of all, in relation of students academic performance, having to work other than school might gives them the thought of how important it is to be more responsible in dealing many things all at once with a shorter time than they used to have. Having a job could give a motivation on students of studying harder. Keeping up with decent grades or they will in time loose their job due to the fact of obtaining bad grades. Giving tremendous time for work in the result of students like me falling asleep in class and falling behind on homework that should have been finished in time if were not the trouble of the job after school.

Secondly, a working student such of I, have experience the lack of balancing my social life while having a job. I hardly have time for my own, and having the time of extra-curricular activities that I used to have. Not having enough time for my family when they eventually need me to spend time with them and having work gets in the way of all the fun a teenager should be having. Sometimes I think of the only time that a job comes in handy in these situations is when a time alone is what I need to get away from my parents having to control my life.

Having to gain skills for my job while a student in high school was only beneficial for that time being working on that specific job. The job that i had as a student working at McDonnald's did not really supply me with skills that i could continue in grasping for the future needs. It really did not provide me any adult skills, although, I did see alot of adults working with me but no one genuinely had to be smart for the job in order to be good at it. In time in having this job did help me in becoming more mature and more efficient of time managing, I was more in alert of things happening when I got home from work, I was suprisingly less tired compare to not having a job. The lack of skills i learned was not anything to be proud of to carry on with me for the future, as a cashier i had buttons of things that i needed to press which already calculated for me how much everything will cost for the customer.

Furtheremore, Students are likely to work for future things that they will need to have such as saving money for college tuition. In my case I did manage to save money for college, but i would still be ending up with school loand because, of the low Income I had made in the past working on a job that had no skills indeed for decent pay check. I gain more Independence, parents had more trust in me in doing my own things without they're consent. Although, money management was a big case for me, I still manage to spend less money wisely and get alot of it. Some students would be lure in money in which they get a decent income but spend most or all of it and end up not saving a dime, luckily i did not come across this trouble as I handle my money better than others.

For the high school students who work part time should be careful on time management. Allow school and work to be more balance so time is given equally which results to less stress. Everyone needs to learn how to be responsible and learn the value of money ways in learning these things is to work less and find a better job so it is worth of giving time for. Might give a sense of adult life and might help students choose the career they likely desire.
