In
the modern society, it is very common to see teenagers working everywhere in
the city. Whatever part time jobs they are doing, they are preparing for their
future. School may be the best place for proper education but not for
preparation for the outside working world. Indeed, teenagers learn a lot of
things through the jobs they do when still being students.
To
start with, teenagers learn how to arrange their time. For example, an employee
needs to work at 7.00 in the early morning. This means, he has to present at
the company by 7.00 no matter how late he stayed up last night. Moreover, as a
student, he has to take use of his time and spend it properly on both studying
and working. He avoids bad habits such as going out late at night and get up
late in the morning
Another
point is that teenagers will appreciate the value of money. They work hard and
realize how difficult to make money. They also understand that “Money does not
grow on trees”. Before buying an expensive clothes or shoes, they remember their
parents’ hard work and think more carefully whether they should buy those or
not.
But
the most benefit to teenagers working is that they get some useful experiences
which they cannot learn at school. For example, after leaving university, Bill
Gates worked outsides and gained valuable experience on what does and doesn't
work. From the time starting his career in a garage, he now becomes the most
successful man with the modern development of computer technology.
Although
teenagers have responsibility to concentrate on their academic studies,
part-time jobs are also important for their future work. Personally, I think
teenagers should be allowed to do some part-time jobs to adapt to the working
environment and get lessons from real life.
