STUDENTS AND PART-TIME JOB

     Part-time job is an essential asset that students are expected to think in high school. Teens tend to get frustrated from school work, the lack of time management due to the excessive amount of homework in school, being stressed about failure and balancing work between school and extra-curricular activities. So apart from these negative reasons, Part-time jobs are a key to becoming more responsible and should be encouraged for every student.

    First, students learn to be more responsible and independent from having a Part-time job. Students would be more confident and learn moral principles as helping others, respecting others and the value of patience. Students will also be more responsible by learning the worth of a dollar. For instance, after two weeks of hard work when the salary arrives, students can save money or can be independent as they do not have to beg their parents for any more money or the student could support his/her family from the money they earn. This shows that Part-time jobs teach students the value of hard work through the money that they earn.

    Another advantage of Part-time jobs is that students will be more Punctual. If some students are really lazy and tend to be late in everything they do, a part-time job is exactly what they need. Part-time jobs help students to more prompt and teach teens to manage time effectively. For Example, students will be able to create a barrier between school work and the Part-time job, which will help students to think effectively, be more resourceful and to save time.

    Finally, Part-time jobs also play an important role in College/University Applications. For Example, when a student states his/her experience as a Part-time worker in her application, the university administrative would find the student fascinating and would consider her for the spot. Students trying to keep a balance between different types of work and his/her input in the Part-time job would have a better chance of a seat in university as it proves the student’s ability to multi-task.   

    Part time job is the answer to stress and excessive amount of work as it provides students to relax and enjoys their limited time. Responsibility, punctuality and future goals are the best qualities getting from a Part time job. So, a cashier at Tim Horton’s or a Science tutor at home are some of the ways where a student will physically and mentally be fit from a Part-time job.
