AOL News - More High School Seniors Juggling Jobs and School

AOL News - More High School Seniors Juggling Jobs and School

Two times in the past week I have had discussed this with parents and/or family. While obviously students can work too much, I truly believe that having a job in high school is a good thing not only for the economy but also for the student.

"University of Minnesota researchers found in 2003 that high school students who work 20 hours a week or less reap benefits including increased confidence, improved time-management skills and enhanced academic success."

I wholeheartedly agree! And it seems to work! Need proof? Upon entrering our Allegany Store, take a look at the wall that highlights those employees currently on the school Honor Roll. It is almost all of our high school employees!
