Should teens work during school?

Michlynn Churchwell

Many students work a part-time job during high school, and some feel strongly that every student should work, but I think you should only work during school if you can manage it.

I think you should only work during school if it doesn’t affect your grades. You should be able to work and do academically well in school. I don’t think you should keep your job if you don’t go or if you have bad grades. As long as you can work and manage school, I think you should be okay.

I personally am not going to get a job until I graduate, because it’s not the greatest idea for me. I can manage school well, but I don’t know how I would handle both. I think it works out for some and not so much for others. Do what you need to do.
