Part Time Jobs for Students

There is much debate nowadays concerning students and part-time jobs, whether they are a good
thing or bad. Part time jobs can take time away from schoolwork, true, but students who work 10 to 15
hours a week during the school year earn higher grades than students who don’t work at all. I strongly
encourage students to seek out part-time employment. Part-time jobs for students are good because
they teach time management, responsibility and set students up for the world of work. Part- time jobs
for students helps teach young people good time management. Learning how to manage time in
respect to keeping plans, school schedules and work schedules organized, and forcing them to follow
a steady schedule and be places on time, with consequences in a way that no other experiences may
teach them, is best taught by a part-time job. I personally have a part-time job; I work at a farm at 6am
every weekend morning. Having a part-time job has taught me time management like nothing else
has before. Forcing me to prioritize plans and extracurricular activities has turned out to be quite an
asset, and helps me in my everyday life, as it will in my future. Along with time management, part-time
jobs teach students responsibility. Responsibility is a very important trait which is taught by part-time
jobs.

Students with part-time jobs learn how to be responsible. Steve Jobs accredits his success in the
world of work to his part-time job at McDonalds in his youth. Part-time jobs give students a duty and
obligation to satisfactorily perform and complete tasks and take responsibility for their actions.
Students will learn to better handle their time and money at a younger age when faced with the
responsibility that part-time jobs provide and ask for. Unlike school, part-time jobs demand a sort of
trial based idea; with school, students may get away with tardiness, or absences, while with jobs,
students will be faced with docked pay, or perhaps even being fired- a much more grave, eye opening
consequence than school provides- and teenagers learn to be responsible as a whole, thanks to this.
This type of responsibility sets teenagers up for the world of work. As well as teaching time
management and responsibility, part-time jobs set young adults up for the world of work.

Most part-time jobs ask for little to no experience, are easy to obtain and add to your future résumé,
for when you do apply for jobs that require previous experience, later on in your career. Part-time
employment teaches you skills and experience which you could learn nowhere else, such as: how to
fill out an application, how to interview well, how to work responsibly, and how to get along with co-
workers and superiors, as well as many other qualities that will set you apart from other applicants
while applying to more important jobs, farther along in life. Part-time jobs are as essential to further
you in your future career path, as watering a plant is for its growth. In conclusion, part-time jobs are
highly suggested for students in high school, or University. Part-time jobs teach students many assets
such as time management, responsibility, and sets young adults up for the world of work.
