Studying at school takes up a lot of time and effort. That is why some teenagers prefer not to take up part-time jobs, concentrating on studying. However, some people think that there is nothing with the desire to make some money.
In my opinion, part-time jobs have a lot of advantages. To begin with, they help us become independent and responsible, so if you do not want to live off your parents the whole life, looking for a temporary job is the best option. Furthermore, due to part-time jobs youngsters can learn how to cooperate and get along with people. Finally, what can be better, than realizing that you can buy things for your honestly earned money?
On the other hand, part-time jobs are often criticized because they distract students from studying. Another argument against taking up a temporary job is that teenagers do not have enough time to do their homework and start falling behind their classmates and thus get blamed or even expelled.
I cannot agree with this opinion. If a person is determined to do well at school and make some money, time is the only he has to cope with. Young people who work at part-time jobs are usually very optimistic and persistent. They always know what they want and never leave things half done.
To sum up, I would say that working at a part-time job is a great experience because it helps people realize that money do not grow on trees.
