The vast majority of high school students have part-time jobs during the school year. While jobs can help teens develop self-discipline and skills that can help them succeed in school and in the workplace, it’s important that to make sure they don’t hurt teens’ school performance.
The key to balancing school and part-time work is to limit the time a student spends on the job. Remember that school schedules account for at least 30 hours each week.
