Part-time jobs are good for students

Having a part-time job is a valuable experience for high school students. They can learn many things that are not usually taugnth in a classroom. For example, they can learn how to work with older people. They also get experience with the business world. Having a part-time job gives students a sense of independence. They can also earn money to use for college. Education is more than just school subjects. Learning about the real world is also important.

My First Entry

Learning Responsibility

My first job was as a sales clerk in a small clothing shop. It wasn't a difficult job, and it wasn't really a very interesting job. I learned how to choose and order new clothing. Every weekend I had to open the store at 10:00 am. I couldn't be late. I helped costumers find clothes, and I kept the store neat and clean. Dressing neatly and professionally was an important part of the job. I used the cash register and handled credit cards, so I had to be very careful. These things all taught me responsibility. I don't work with clothing anymore, but I still use that important skill I learned in my first job.
