Should Students Work?
For many students, whether they should work or not is decided for them by their financial or family obligations. Although many parents would prefer that their high schoolers concentrate on their studies, a recent article in the Press-Sun Bulletin reveals a U.S. Labor statistic that 80% of high school students work some time during their junior and senior years.
School officials don't agree on this issue either. Some believe that working interferes with school work; others believe that working helps students gain valuable skills, including how to balance life and work.
By the time students reach college the ambivalence has diminished, and successful college students learn to balance their studies, work and personal life. What do you think? Should high school and college students work?
