Full-time students work part-time With the increasing cost of entertainment, food, and gasoline, many students had tried or were trying to get part-time jobs after school and on weekends. Finding a good job was not easy and a lot of people couldn ' t get jobs at all. There were many reasons that it was great to have a job. Jobs made people more independent from their parents. Students didn ' t have to bug their moms and dads for money to go out or to put gas in the car. Also, it didn ' t take as long to accumulate the funds to buy different things students wanted. On the other hand, jobs interfered with things students like to do. For instance, having a job was not a good idea during sports seasons because athletes couldn ' t always get time off for practi- ces and games. Often, students had to quit that particular sport. Also, with a job, students didn ' t always have Friday and Saturday nights off. When their friends were out having a good time, there were those students with jobs working until two in the morning. But over all, most people still liked their jobs becasue when they did get to go out, they had plenty of money and had a great time. Junior Jenny Whipple, who worked at Answer Iowa, liked her job because it gave her a lot of extra spending money. Jenny Said, Having a job gives teenagers good training and experience for future jobs. Prices of various things continued to rise, and as the year wore on, more and more students were trying to find part-time employment. It also became more important for students to be able to manage money wisely without wasting much, as dollars became more tough to come by.
