Should teenagers work while they are students? There is much disagreement over whether it is a good idea for teenagers to have jobs when they are still students Some people hold the opinion that doing part-time job is a waste of time for teenagers, while others are convinced that having work experiences as teenagers can be beneficial in various ways I deem the second one as my premier choice Among countless factors, there are three conspicuous aspects as follows The main reason for my propensity is that a great deal of new experiences can be obtained by teenagers who have jobs when they are still students Under working circumstances, teenagers have a lot of opportunities to cooperate with others, thus their teamwork spirits and leadership skills can be enhanced at a great speed They can also learn how to get along with other colleagues by doing part-time jobs All of these skills learned at work are required in order to be successful in the modern society The second reason for my view is that teenagers can earn money to support their families by doing part-time jobs Nowadays, although most of the families are able to afford for their daily activities, such as Internet and television, some of the families are still living in poverty or below the average level If the teenagers in the families can make some extra money by doing part-time jobs, it may be really helpful to the families Last but not least, having part-time jobs when you are still a student is a great opportunity to help you learn how to best organize your time If the teenagers decided to have some work experiences, they had to contribute some time to their jobs This could be really long, like hours a day; or this could be considerably short, like half an hour per day No matter how long it takes for teenagers to parttime jobs, they certainly have to organize their time really well in order to finish their school work on time Having part- time jobs when they are still students can help them cultivate a good timeorganizing habit, which is highly beneficial to their future development Frankly speaking, I agree that there may be some disadvantages for teenagers to have jobs when they are still students But it is apparent that the advantages far overweigh the disadvantages Therefore, I strongly recommend that teenagers should have some work experiences when they are still students
