Senior Michelle Craig adds up a bill for her outside work experience job at House of Steno. Work only one aspect of school life, studies, activities make demands. Having a job can demand a lot of time, especially to a stu- dent who is trying to achieve in academics, maintain an active social life and balance extra- curricular activities with school. Many students work. Whether it be a receptionist, a cook at McDon- ald's or as a sale- sperson at the mall, jobs take time and effort.

Part-time work teaches responsi- bility and commu- nication skills that are necessary for success in more permanent jobs and careers. I can relate to peo- ple better, Wick said. While jobs have advantages, there are disadvantages as well- The only thing I don’t like is working on Friday or Saturday nights,” said Murphy. I'd really rather be out with my friends then.” Elaine Keen JOBS
