Kyle Espineli English Composition 1 Prof. Murad 9 May 2017 Out of state tuition: A problem unsolved Most students after graduating high school plan to attend a college or university. They work hard in and out of the classroom just so they can get into their dream school.…
I believe high school students should have jobs, to save for their future and should help their families whenever it is necessary. While working, students can develop the skills needed to handle money. In Etzioni’s article, he assumes that when a teenager gets money, a large amount of it is spent on useless items. However, teens working at “the cash register” (par. 9) realize how important money is to succeed. Many students are saving for college or paying bills to support themselves, to help not only better their future, but…
Working at McDonald's In the article “Working at McDonald’s” Amitai Etzioni argues how many high school juniors and seniors have a part time job. Saying that like McDonald’s are bad places to work which are non-educational. Some reasons are, that everything is already setup in places like McDonald’s not giving teens room to be creative and think outside the box.…
Have you ever gone up to your parents and asked them to buy you something really nice and flashy, only to have them retaliate with “if you want that, you’ll have to go out and buy it for yourself”? Or you’ve been in the situation where your family might need a little help paying for all of the expenses throughout the house. Or maybe you 're like me; you 're walking through the mall one day, looking at all of the clothes and other objects you would buy if only you had money to spend, and watching your friends spending all that they 've earned. Well, what 's stopping you from having all that money? What 's stopping you from walking into those stores with a "help wanted" sign and asking the manager what it would take for them to hire you?…
No matter the type of job, every teen can benefit from an early introduction of the work place. I disagree with his belief that teen employment ultimately results in the decline of academic performance. His statement cannot be held as true for every teenager who is employed. In fact, working can give a teen the opportunity to hone one’s organizational skills that can be applied at home or in school. Time management is one of the “few skills” a teen can apply when prioritizing different responsibilities.…
With few useful skills and trying to manage high school, these jobs offer no benefits and undermine teens. Therefore teenagers should stay clear of “McDonald” type jobs and find a job that will actually improve their…
Americas largest private employer is fast food restaurants. They look for people who are ready to work for part-time and for low wages. These people aren't usually educated and are unskilled. Teenagers are the perfect prey for these types of jobs. They work for low wages and they are young so have lot of energy.…
For a teenager, having a low income job may be great just to have some pocket money, because many teens don’t have, or aren’t exposed to all the expenses we will see in many years to come. Minimum wage jobs are usually very basic, low-skilled jobs that don't require much of an education. The higher your education, the more opportunities one can open up for…
Over the summer, students like myself, transitioning from the seventh grade to the eighth grade, were told to earn $100 for their senior dues. On top of that, we had to write a three paragraph essay explaining our experience earning our senior dues which is exactly why I’m sitting here writing this and you, sir or ma’am, are reading this. In the assignment description, it states, “Students are old enough to earn money over the summer; they should consider babysitting, yard work for a neighbor, having a yard sale, or any other job that suits the child’s needs.” However, my two strict West Indian parents don’t exactly believe in any of that.…
Long hours of constantly standing and running up and down the store addressing customers and trying to keep the store presentable is certainly not a job I would settle for. Retail is a job for students that come and go, that are trying to make extra money for themselves, but not for somebody who is already of age, has a family to maintain, and bills to pay. Many people settle for less and are so used to being in a certain place doing the same thing every day that they fear change and do not want to seek better opportunities. I have worked in retail for only two years, my first year at a store called Hollister. My experience there was that I only saw young teens working, most of them being so irresponsible.…
Boys are so much fun, aren’t they? I have one boy myself and I told my husband I was afraid to have another baby because it might be a boy. I have a special place in my heart for special education teachers. I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a special education class and it was defiantly challenging, but rewarding at the same time.…
When you are going to college the best jobs for students is in fast food industry because the turnover is greater. They are more likely to work with your schedule so you can work and go to school. This way you can put little money away to pay for school or other…
People also get employed through different avenues. There are people who find the job searching experience to be frustrating while others find it interesting. This depends on avenues that people use. It is easier for people to get employment in organizations where they have favorable contacts with current employees. From the case studies, it is evident that nepotism makes it easier for some people to attain employment.…
Teenagers today are in a constant struggle to balance their time between work, school, and family life. An average day consist of 24 hours and to many teenagers this doesn’t feel like enough. They do not know how they can work for ten hours, complete five hours of homework, spend time with their family and still get the recommended eight to twelve hours of sleep at night. Teenagers are asked to make a tough decision of what is the least important thing on their list, what they feel can wait till tomorrow or can be done in a shorter amount of time. Some work part-time, some pay little attention to school work, some never spend enough time with their family, and some are walking around like zombies because they chose to go without rest.…
