It seems clear that teenagers should concentrate on their studying and put their efforts for academic success and obtaining information. As they study in depth, they are allow to develop their talents and potential in particular subject. However, upon closer examination, having a part time job during teenage years can teach teenagers various valuable lessons of life which can not be learned by thick text books; teenagers can not only learn the value of money, but also they can become a mature person mentally.
Above all, having a part time job allows teenager to realize the value of money with their experience. This is because they will understand every sweat means every cent , since they will put a lot of effort for earning money. Most of teenagers have a tendency to spend money carelessly without any specific planning. As a result, through part time job, they won't waste money anymore in the future , and also can have saving habits. The best illustration of this phenomenon is my brother, Kevin Kim. Before he started the part-time job, he wasted a lot of money, such as buying unnecessary products , since he tempted by the advertisement. However, he had started to work in a restaurant as a recommendation of parents in order to fix his bad habits. Now, he feels sorry and apologizes to parents about the previous behavior that he did excessive consumption. Moreover, he had began to write household ledger in order to recognize his expanses problem. In this regard, it is hard to deny that part time job makes teenager to manage their money wisely.
On top of that , doing part time job in teenage years encourages teenagers to become a more mature person , while they experience various kinds of things directly. This is because, they can learn about the importance of responsibility and time management, through the strict rules that they should adhere. As they work in some bigger society, if they make mistakes, and do not accomplish their task, other people must sacrifice unintentionally. As a result, they will try their best to bring out the best results in order to not only fulfill their work ,but also to satisfy other people. The great example of this is having a part time job in a fast food restaurant. Since, teenager should confront with customer and should guarantee buyer's satisfaction, they should offer customer's requirement immediately and accurately. In addition, they should go to the work on time, because whole the fast food restaurant might bad effect by their mistakes, since they are absence for certain time. In this respect, it should come as no surprise that teenager can experience how to deal with a bigger community throughly.
As a concluding remark, it is obvious that part time job helps teenager a lot in many aspect , and offer valuable experiences . The reason is that they can realize worthy of money and this experience will open the opportunity to become a better adult in the future. All in all, I strongly believe that having a part time job during teenage years can teach teenagers various valuable lessons of life.
