rs l Q 9 DECA Members Plan for Future Working while in school offers advantages other than the obvious one of making money. There are many varied and useful experiences to be found through student work. Many students work in fields of marketing and distribution which develop leadership proficiency, while others enjoy positions as sales clerks and cashiers at General Products, Milleris, and Sears. Preparing sandwiches at Burger King or Blue Circle is for those who enjoy food, while others get their kicks cutting hair at Central Barber Shop. There is also the field of nursing for those who enjoy caring for others. All of these jobs develop pupils, individual traits and help them plan their futures. For those in DECA, life is not just school days and carefree fun, but work - work which helps these students meet their goals.
