A substantial number of people argue that parents should not allow their teenage children to prepare for an adult life by taking a part-time job since school works and studies are the most important to them. However, from my point of view, parents should encourage their teenage children to take a part-time job for their adult life because this experience is good for their career and they can improve social skills.
First of all, doing a part-time job gives many opportunities in the future career of the teenager. To be specific, a great deal of companies consider that those who have done many experiences are attractive. This is because it proves that the person who did a part-time job can manage to company's affairs skillfully. For example, my brother did a waiter of a hotel restaurant as a part-time job in teenager. After graduated from the high school, when he applied for a restaurant which is a prominent place in Korea, the honor really liked my brother since he has an experience in the same field. Consequently, he was able to work in the job which he really desired.
Moreover, teenage children can learn communication skills in a part-time job. To explain, there are many diverse working people who have different backgrounds in a working place and if a person does a service part-time job, he would meet varied visitors and customers who may be angry, complain or blame. Therefore, those who participate in a part-time job can develop their social skills by treating these various kinds of people. In my experience, I did a part-time job in a children art academy and it was demanding for me to contact with teachers and children's parents who are older than me. Besides, communicating with the children was very difficult for me since they did not obedient to me and made noise. Accordingly, I made my every effort to get over the problems, and I could have a conversation smoothly with all generation people by improving communication skills.
To sum up, one of the best ways that parents make their teenager to prepare for a mature life is to foster them to do a part-time job. Since it is good for their work of the future and they can develop their social skills for adult life.
