How much should a teen work while they're in highschool? |
Like how many hours per day/week? It depends, but high school can be a full time job. Being a good student is rough and that should come first. Begin with a weekend job, not more than 6 hours a day. Babysitting, dog walking, lawn care and similar jobs are the best. They teach responsibility and give the teen some pocket money. Just be sure the teen gets a full 8 hours of sleep each night. It is SO important. Older teens may be able to handle after-school work, but no more than 3 hours a day. Put 50% of earnings in a savings account, give 10% to charity and the rest can be "fun money". I would work no more than 15/week. Some places may even not allow that much. Check the laws for your state by going to the U.S. Department of Labor. uh..part time and 5 days a week you gotta rest on weekends, lol, i reccomend working in a mcdonalds or burger king cuase you gotta start on the easy stuff, then when you think you can do better, move on little by little, i reccomend this strongly! It depends on what your comfortable with, how much homework you have and other things going on in life. I wouldn't recommend working more than part-time (20 hrs / week) unless you make most of those hours on the weekend (then maybe 25-30hrs). Like 15 hours a week, if you can keep your grades up. If not, then go down to 10. |
