think high school students should all have jobs? In discussion of teens having jobs in high school, one controversial issue has been will jobs interfere with school. On the one hand Anne Michaud argues that teens should have jobs in high school. On the other hand, Allison Schrager opposes that working in high school doesn’t pay off the way it used too. My own view is that employment for teens should be mandatory in high school because it will help them have experience for future jobs and to raise
or caregivers. Teenagers find themselves getting afterschool jobs for many reasons. The normal reasons would include: spending money for going out with friends, gas money, or for the ability to obtain the newly released technology.

These jobs take away a lot of the time these teenagers should be spending
High school students on the job We spend four years of our lives attending high school. Going through high school is supposed to prepare us for college and “the real world.” Throughout these four years we begin to better understand our choices for college majors, but we don’t get presented with the financial and time struggle that we will face. College costs money, along with everyday living. When attending college we become more independent and are faced with the problem of coming up with money

Should high school kids have jobs in high school? I have believe they should and that there some that should not. There are some kids that can hold a job and there some that can not. People like me can. I work after school Monday thru Friday. There people that can't keep there grades up and still work, but they can get carried away with making money and not care about there schoolwork or a test they have coming up.

High school is supposed to get students ready for the real world. The knowledge we learn in those four years can help choose our majors, however, sometimes in those four years we do not learn what it is like to pay bills or manage time between work and school. Whether the student work only on weekends or after school on weekdays, it raises the question if it is beneficial for students to have a job while going to school. Some people have argued that having a job can help students manage their time
Many people seek employment, including teens like us. Sadly, having a job is just a dream for kids under 15 years old. Currently, there are very few jobs fourteen year olds can have. On school days (including friday), you are only allowed to work three hours. You do not get paid much money because of the minimum work hours allowed, which is seen as unfair from many people. What would employment at age fourteen do for us? Why do we need younger employees working? A small amount of business’ actually
In today’s age less and less people are taking the traditional route through life. The route of high school then a 4 year degree at a college and then being spit out ready to jump into the job they just became “experts” in.

This means that after school and most likely past dinner time they are alone. When these young people come home from school, instead of opting for the healthy snack that a parent might have chosen, they choose a junk food snack.

Township. He never made it home. Hoffa. The name alone stirs strong emotions and opinions. Was he a visionary union hero or brutal despot? Was he a labor crusader or a criminal? Jimmy Hoffa began his union career as a teenager in the 1930s. A grade school dropout, he almost single handedly built the Teamsters union into an awesome national power. His hammer-handed negotiating techniques, his alleged links to organized crime, and his bitter feuds with John and Robert Kennedy made Hoffa the prototypical
I Think It Should be a Requirement High School is an important part of one's life. It sets each and every student up for the future, their future. Every student knows this is the main reason why we are here but also to learn the basics of studying, working hard, and being able to be attentive. These are all skills that we need to apply for the future. Teachers tell us that they are preparing us for the difficulties that come along with going to college.

This, to some, is believed to be a benefit to our economy.

However, many people have different ideas of what professionalism means. According to Merriam- Webster Dictionary, the definition of professionalism is “the skill, good judgment, and polite behavior that is expected from a person who is trained to do a job well.” Some people’s idea of professionalism matches closely with this definition. Others consider professionalism to be dressing nice or having an advance degree in a certain field. In my opinion, professionalism includes all these views. Professionalism
taught myself during my experiences with my first two jobs. These learning experiences I have had have helped me to mature and grow into an adult, and they have changed my life for the better. I have had two jobs in my short lifetime, one with a lawn care service and one with QuikTrip. These two jobs vary from each other greatly, and they are both pretty much on different ends of the spectrum. I have really liked the fact that these two jobs are so different from each other, and I think it has helped
