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 about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Consideration

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, 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.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
