Jobs During High School

I think it is good for students to get a job in high school so they can have better experience when they are going to a higher level to go work in America. I believe it will help them along the way, and they will have better skills and development. It is always amazing to see what students can do with a job and an education because of the progress that brought them along their journey.


When I was 14-years-old, I had my first job at McDonald’s, and I didn’t know how to do anything in the store.
I was so lost, and I had to ask my coworkers and managers for help, but when I came back I learned everything in the store because of my skills and my coworkers helping me through the process.


I just want to say it is good to have experience wherever you go because now I have a higher level. I know that people want money in their pockets, but education must come first so you can learn how to count your money, spend your money right, and save your money for good reasons.


I believe people today need jobs if they don’t have one so they can learn how to have ability and responsibility.
My grandfather always shares something with me, “Boy, keep working hard because after a while it is going to pay off.” I live by this saying, and I let it meditate in my mind.


Then when you have all of your insight and set your goals you can have a professional job because the Bible says, “ The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. ’’ – Psalms 37:23. Also, in Philippians 4:19, we are informed that “God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” I want to say people can live a good lifestyle, but education will give you what money can’t buy because nobody cannot take away your accomplishments.


Personally, I believe a post-secondary job prepares students for their profession and unprofessional life. I think it can go both ways because some students in this present moment forget about an education that they need in order to get a job. If you want a professional job, you need to have an education because you have to learn the materials and get the resources.
