Part 1
Like many high school students, you may want - or need
– to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, thought, so before
getting a job, make sure that you think about 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’s 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 the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you
want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.
