Balancing high school and Part time work
Part 1
Like many high school students, you may want – or need – to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think of your ability to handle both work and your education.
Important considerations
You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding
whether to take on a part time job. It is important to get as much information
as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.
Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss
you working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of
position you are seeking.
Choose the right
