Spotlight: All In A ; eing a high school student is expensive. SBE A high school student needs money to keep up with the latest clothing trends, to pay for gas, entertainment and dates. When faced with the money dilemma, the student has two options: borrow money from his parents for the remainder of his high school days or get a job. Most students choose to get a part-time job. As one student put it, ‘“Money is a necessi- ty and working is just a means to support the need.” Because more and more students enter the job market every year, it has become increas- ingly difficult to find a part-time job. One can always rely on supermarkets to provide work. Many students are also able to find jobs at fast- food restaurants, clothing stores, and hospitals, libraries, and rest homes. Many students have four or five major sub- jects and are constantly being pressured by parents and students to keep up their grades. This fact makes holding a job more difficult. Sports, clubs, chorus rehearsals, and chores also use up valuable study time. It is left to the student to find time to do homework, which is usually during study halls and home room per- iods. Despite the constant pressures that come with a job, students learn how to cope. The homework does get finished, the trash does get put out, and the dentist appointment does not get missed. For the student of today, it is all ina day’s work. 1.
