High school students in United States are so common with having a job while they are also enrolled as a students. Some pros and cons have been discussed by Dennis McLellan in “Part-Time Work Ethic: Should Teens Go For it?” Some people may be concern about is it really helpful for the students itself? Is it going to help them in future? After reading the article I found that working is actually has some benefits for the students. It helps students to be more independent and also helps students to develop their skills which will be helpful for them in the future. However, having extra money in the age around 16-20 might lead to problems. They might use the money irresponsibly, as a result they will only waste the money they earn. But all in all,

It is dangerous especially for students where they don’t really need things like that. It also leads to an increase in the consumption of drugs and alcohol when students cannot control their money management. That’s why, I think students who work should have a good self-control so this kind of problem doesn’t get in the way and interrupt their (students) education and growing
