▶ Your Answer : There
might be some people who believe that taking a part-time job is not a good
method for parents to help their teenage children to prepare for an adult life.
However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent
reasons. Children are able to learn abilities to manage money and communicate
in workplaces.To
begin with, children learn how to manage money. This is due to the fact that
they earn their own money by taking a part-time job, which means they should
take care of their own money. Money management is an important ability in the
future society. Thus, children who know how to deal with money are more likely
to success their adult lives. Let be bring up my personal experience as an
example. My parents let me do a part-time job in a convenient store in 18, and
I could make some money. I used this money buying some clothes, and I saved the
rest of them. As a result, I have save plenty of money in my account. If it
hadn't been for the job, I couldn't have save that much money.
In
addition, children are able to learn a communication ability by taking a
part-time job. To be specific, children may work in small workplace or society,
and they naturally learn how to communicate effectively with coworkers. Good
communication and understanding skills are important factor of one's social
success. According to a recent research done by professor Kim in Seoul National
University, 70% of social leaders had an experience of having job in their
childhood. Some of them said that they could learn their communication skill at
workplace in teenage years. It clearly show that children could learn
communication abilities through a part-time job.
In
conclusion, children could take not only the ability of managing money, but
also communication skills. For these reasons, I firmly believe that part-time
jobs have a positive influence to children and their adult lives. |
